Joyce and Joan worked on a brunch item which can be served as dessert too. It is Honey Pear Parfaits. These are made with fresh pear, honey, yogurt and top with some homemade Fruity Maple Pecan Granola.
You can make the pear compote in advance and keep in the refrigerator until it’s ready to be served. All you need to do is do is to whipped up some honey yogurt and topped with some granola. Serve this in a glass for better presentation.
I love this brunch item the most. But some of the seniors remarked that it’s a bit too sweet. I guess it depends on the sweetness of the pear which you get. You may cut back on the apricot preserves or honey if you don’t have sweet tooth like me.

Looks like a healthy dessert! Especially for those who are lactose-intolerant!
