Eight one-block servings
Ingredients:
2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
3 pears, halved, cored and sliced in thin strips
4 ounces Johannesburg Riesling
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup blueberries
8 teaspoons almonds, sliced
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
Dash of ground cloves
Instructions:
In a small, nonstick pan combine wine, extracts and cornstarch. (Mix cornstarch in wine before adding to sauté pan.) Add pears to the sauté pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for three to five minutes, stirring frequently, until pears are softened and the juices reduce and thicken. As the mixture cooks, add cloves. Divide cottage cheese into the bottom of eight serving bowls. Place warm pears on top of cottage cheese. Sprinkle with almonds and blueberries and serve.
