These Maple Poached Pears on a Bed of Vanilla Yogurt are so comforting on a cold day. I served them at the Bed and Breakfast we had often, and were always gone in a flash! They are easy to make and so delicious. The maple flavor in the poaching water infuses into the pears as they simmer and become tender. They are perfect as an accompaniment to any breakfast dish, and as an easy dessert. Enjoy!
