Directions

*NOTE: Original recipe used the plums...I didn't have them so I used fresh pears and it was great!!

Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a saucepan, reserving bean for another use. Add sauterne and stir well. Bring mixture to a boil over med-high heat. Add plum halves, cut sides up, in a single layer in saucepan; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 min. Remove plums from saucepan with slotted spoon; set aside and keep warm. Bring sauternes mixture to a boil over med-high heat; cook 4 min or until reduced to 1 C. Remove from heat; stir in honey and lime juice.

Place 2 plum halves into each of 4 dessert compotes; top each with about ¼ C sauternes mixture and 1 T yogurt. Garnish with lime rind, if desired.

Yield: 4 servings

This was really, really good. I used fresh pears and it was excellent.
