Ingredients

3 large firm pears , cut into halves

Fruit fresh or 1/4 fresh lemon

3 to 5 Tablespoons milk

About 1/4 cup Amaretto

One 8-ounce package light cream cheese, softened

Dash of fresh grated nutmeg

Directions

Wash and core halved pears -- DO NOT PEEL. Place in 6 small microwavable bowls. Sprinkle each pear lightly with Fruit fresh or lightly rub with lemon piece. This prevents the fruit from darkening. Cover loosely with plastic wrap.

Place in microwave and cook on level 8 or 9 (SAUTE) approximately 8 to 12 minutes (pears should still retain their shape and be cooked) drain and keep pears slightly warm. I leave them in the micro until serving time.

Place cream cheese and milk in small bowl and blend in mixer until smooth. Gradually add Amaretto to cheese/milk mix and blend. (Mix needs to be light and firm, not soupy.) Both the milk and Amaretto maybe adjusted to desired consistency. Refrigerate.

When you're ready to serve, add a generous dollop of the cream cheese mix to the tops of each pear, then sprinkle with grated nutmeg. Serve at once
