Time 18m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup apricot preserves
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon kirsch
4 Bosc pears
4 dried apricots

Steps:

  • Put preserves in a 1-cup measure. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a high-power oven for 1 minute. Remove from oven.
  • Stir in 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and the kirsch. Pass mixture through a sieve into a shallow bowl. Set aside.
  • Peel the pears and core them through the bottom. As you work, rub the pears inside and out with the remaining lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
  • Roll each apricot lengthwise and put one in the cavity of each pear. Coat the pears in the apricot mixture.
  • Arrange pears in a circle around the inside rim of a 2 1/4-quart souffle dish. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook 7 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
  • Remove from oven and uncover. Serve hot or cold. Put each pear on a plate and spoon some of the remaining sauce over.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a winner. The pears are always tender and juicy, and the apricot sauce is to die for. I love to serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
