Cinnamon Pear Treat

If your like me you might be watching the waistline. But many of us are watching the cholestrol and sodium intake too. I found this recipe while going thru some of my mother's recipes. I don't know where she got it from, but it had the cholestrol and sodium listed for the servings. It sounded good and I decided to try it because I'm always looking for foods to use for my sweet tooth. I hope you enjoy it.
