Health and fertility benefits of Cranberry Pear Cobblers Recipe

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060). Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

Ingredients

2 small pears, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup dried cranberries
3 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon grated fresh gingerroot
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Spoon into two 10-oz. custard cups coated with cooking spray. Dot with butter. Bake at 350 ° for 15-20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
For topping, combine sugar and ginger in a blender; cover and process until crumbly. Set aside 1-1/2 teaspoons of the mixture. Add flour, baking soda and salt to the blender; cover and process for 20 seconds or until combined. Add butter; process until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Transfer to a small bowl; stir in buttermilk. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto hot fruit filling; sprinkle with reserved sugar mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Serve warm.
