Poached Orange Pears

By: Edna Lee 
"These pears are very simple to prepare, but so elegant, assures Edna Lee of Greeley, Colorado. I love to serve them when fresh raspberries are in season. They make a beautiful presentation for special occasions and are always well liked by both young and old. TIP: I've occasionally used home-canned pear halves and no one ever knows the difference, Edna says."
