Step 1

In a small pan over medium-high heat, bring apple juice, pomagranate juice, orange rind and cinnamon stick to a boil.

Step 2

Place pears face down in the pan.

Step 3

Lower 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.

Step 4

Once the pears are tender, remove from heat and let cool.

Step 5

Over medium-low heat, reduce the remaining poaching liquid to a glaze, about 7 to 8 minutes.

Step 6

Pour over pears. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 7

To serve, place 1/2 pear on each dish and top with a dollop of yogurt over each.
