This is a recipe I found in a Diabetes & You magazine that Walgreens has. I really love this recipe cause it is low in carbs and being a diabetic that is good.

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 Anjou pears, peeled, halved lengthwise and cored
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon margarine, cut into 8 pieces

Slice each pear lengthwise into thin slices and fan out on dessert plates.
