INSTRUCTIONS
This dessert is a stand out and it's so simple too. The sauce, made with
red wine and apple juice, adds to the flavor and to the presentation.

skillet; add pear halves with cut sides-down. Simmer, covered, until pears
are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove pears to serving dishes;
discard spices. Heat wine mixture to boiling.
MIX CORNSTARCH and cold water; stir into boiling mixture. Boil, stirring
constantly, until thickened.
REMOVE FROM HEAT, let stand 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in NutraSweet Spoonful;
