• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup dark rum, plus
• 1  tablespoon dark rum
• 1⁄2 cup  pear juice
• 2  tablespoons sugar
• 1⁄3 cup raisins
• 3  large  firm-ripe bosc pears or 3  large Anjou pears, peeled, cored, and each cut into 8 wedges
• 1  tablespoon  cold unsalted butter

Directions

1. Combine 1/3 cup rum with pear juice and sugar in a 10-inch heavy skillet and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, add the raisins and pears, and simmer, covered, until pears are just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the lid from the pan and using a slotted spoon, remove the pears to a plate. Boil the poaching liquid, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a syrup, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the butter and the remaining tablespoon rum and return the pears to the pan. Serve over frozen yogurt.
