Poached Pears

I have found star anise near the produce aisle (In Safeway in WA state), where they have all of the Mexican spices/products, in a small bag called "El Guapo" with a green, white, and red label. Hope that helps! This recipe sounds divine. 

I really enjoyed this recipe as did my guests. It was super easy and seems like an upscale dinner party dish. I added a little cinnamon and sugar on top of the yogurt and it was PERFECTION. I should also mention that star anise isn't easy to find, so I purchased anise seeds instead (spice aisle) and used about 1 teaspoon and it worked just fine.
