NOTES :
This recipe calls for canned pear halves. I think it would be good with apple too. Just poach or stew an apple. Or halve a gala apple, and remove the seed core. then zap it in the microwave (cut side down on a plate) for about 60-90 seconds on high or until tender but not soft. Let it stand until cool enough to cut. It will continue cooking while standing. Tarter apples take longer.
