Stew the pears in a saucepan with the water, lemon juice, cinnamon and
allspice until it is soft enough to mash when you stir it with a fork or
wooden spoon and has a texture like applesauce. Remove from the heat and
refrigerate for two hours.

MAKE THE VANILLA CREAM: Combine the yogurt with the sweetner, brandy and
vanilla.

TO ASSEMBLE: Spoon the Pear Compote into small dessert cups and top with
the Vanilla Cream.

NOTE: This is a version of an old and popular Creole dessert

VARIATION: Use pear brandy in place of the regular.
