Indulge in the delightful flavors of our Pomegranate Poached Pears with Yogurt Sauce, a stunning dessert that is as beautiful as it is delicious. This vegetarian and gluten-free treat is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply looking to impress your family with a gourmet dessert.

As the pears gently poach, they become tender and succulent, soaking up the aromatic notes of cinnamon and sugar. The result is a dish that not only looks elegant on the plate but also offers a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. To elevate this dessert further, we serve the poached pears with a luscious dollop of Liberté® Méditerranée lemon yogurt, adding a creamy, tangy element that balances the sweetness of the syrup.
