Bosc pears are perfect here, as they hold up well to cooking; firm Anjous can also be used. Apricot spreadable fruit would make a nice flavor and color variation in place of the raspberry.
1/2 cup seedless raspberries spreadable fruit
1 cup apple juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 firm Bosc pears, peeled and cut into fourths
Mix all ingredients except pears in 10-inch skillet. Add pears. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered 30 minutes, spooning juice mixture over pears and turning every 10 minutes, until pears are tender. Serve warm or chilled.
