About alcohol.If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation. Moderate drinking means up to 1 drink a day for women and up to 2 drinks for men. Twelve ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1½ ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits count as a drink for purposes of explaining moderation. Remember that alcoholic beverages have calories but are low in nutritional value.
Generally, anything more than moderate drinking can be harmful to your health. And some people, or people in certain situations, shouldn’t drink at all. If you have questions or concerns, talk to your doctor or healthcare provider. Ingredients for your lite dessert are:
| 2 |
tablespoons (30 ml) dry sherry |
| 1 |
tablespoon (15 ml) balsamic vinegar |
| 4 |
small ripe Bartlett pears, halved lengthwise and cored |
| 2 |
Italian Amaretti cookies, crushed |
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220° C), Gas Mark 7.
- Mix the sherry with the vinegar in a baking dish just large enough to hold the pear halves cut side down.
- Roast the pears for 15 minutes. Add the water and bake until the pears are cooked through but still hold their shape, another 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place the pears on dessert plates and sprinkle with the crushed cookies, and spoon some of the sauce form the baking dish around each pear. Serve immediately.
