This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.


6 large ripe, firm fresh pears
1 cup apple juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter or reduced-fat margarine
1 cinnamon stick
1 jar (12 ounce size) apricot preserves
Peel pears, leaving them whole with stem intact. Place in slow cooker. Add apple juice, vanilla, butter and cinnamon stick. Cook on high for 3-4 hours.
Remove pears with slotted spoon. Place in individual dessert dishes. Heat apricot preserves in small saucepan until melted. Top each pear with preserves sauce.
