Last-minute ending for a dinner . . .

There are some days when I can manage dinner or preparing a dessert. Naturally, dinner get done, first, much to the dismay of children. Here is a quick sweet ending to your meal that doesn't take any time at all to prepare and tastes good, too!

Rosy Stewed Pears

3-4 fresh pears peeled and thinly sliced.
⅔ cup cranberry juice
2 teaspoons of freshly grated lemon zest
1 cinnamon stick broken into pieces

Combine all ingredients and microwave for approximately 10 minutes. Let cool, remove the cinnamon stick and enjoy. They have nice tang and the recipe can be easily doubled.

Hint: Always have a carton of vanilla ice cream socked away in the freezer for just this occasion as the pears taste great over a scoop.
