Directions

1. In a small pan over medium-high heat, bring the apple juice, pomegranate juice, and cinnamon to a boil.
2. Place the pears face down in the pan.
3. Lower the heat and simmer gently until a knife inserted into the pears meets no resistance, about 10-20 minutes, spooning the sauce over the pears as they cook.
