- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 8 ripe pears, either Anjou, Bartlett, or Comice
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 cups fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

- Peel the pears, halve lengthwise, and remove the seeds with a melon baller or teaspoon.
- Add the pears to the baking dish and coat with the maple mixture.

- Drain and coarsely chop the cranberries.
- Transfer the pears to plates. Pour the baking juices into a small bowl, and whisk in 1 or 2 teaspoons of water to blend into a sauce.
