  • In a medium sauce pot bring 1/2 of the coriander, vanilla, lemon & lime zest, sugar, wine and water to a boil. Once the mixture begins to boil reduce to a simmer. Peel the pears, making sure to leave the stem attached. Gently drop the pears into the simmering poaching liquid. Simmer the pears for 15 to 20 minutes in the liquid.

  • Mix the yogurt, honey and remaining coriander together to form the filling.
  • First, remove a pear from the liquid. Cut the pear down the center from top to bottom. Remove the seeds from the pear with a small spoon. Place the two halves of the pear into a serving plate. Place 1 oz. (approximately 2 Tbsp) of the spiced yogurt mixture on top of the pears.
