Directions
Halve, peel, and core the pears.
Sprinkle freshly cut pears with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Place in microwave-safe dish and cover with cranapple juice.
Cover and cook on high 6 to 8 minutes or until pears are fork tender.
(Check the pears after 6 minutes; the fresher the pears, the longer they'll take to cook.)
Spoon juice over pears, cover, and let stand 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
