Dessert: Poached Pears with Vanilla Sauce

3 cups water
2 Tbsp. pure vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
4 - 6 ripe pears, peeled, sliced in half and cored

Combine water, vanilla and sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add pears and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove fruit and set it aside to cool. Heat syrup until it thickens slightly. Place fruit in dessert bowls and pour syrup over top of fruit.

The Skinny: Hey, at least we didn't tell you to add whipped cream on top of the syrup. Use your favorite sugar substitute.
