what you need:

1 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup white wine or white cranberry juice

2 medium pears, peeled and halved

3 tbsp seedless raspberry spreadable fruit

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Fresh raspberries and mint leaves, optional

What you do:

In a small saucepan, bring the water, sugar and wine to a boil. Reduce heat; carefully add pears. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until tender. Remove pears and reserve cooking liquid.

In a small bowl, combine spreadable fruit and vanilla. Stir in enough cooking liquid to form a sauce consistency. Cover and refrigerate sauce and pears separately until chilled.

Remove sauce from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving. Place two pear halves on each dessert plate; top with sauce. Garnish with raspberries and mint if desired.
