Sweetened cream cheese is a simple and satisfying way to dress up canned pears. Plus, they look so pretty on the table. For a different twist, you can use canned peaches in place of the pears.—Barb Marshall, Pickerington, Ohio

2 cans (one 16 ounces, one 29 ounces) pear halves
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup seedless grapes, halved

Drain the pear halves, reserving 1 tablespoon of syrup. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and reserved syrup until smooth. Fill pear halves; top with grapes.
