1. In a medium saucepan, bring cranberry juice to a simmer. Add pears, split vanilla bean, stick cinnamon, and pepper. Return to a simmer; cover and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cranberries. Let stand, covered, for 1 hour, turning pears once.
2. Remove vanilla bean and scrape seeds into a small bowl; stir in yogurt and honey.
3. Divide cooking liquid among six individual dessert dishes. Add a pear half to each. Top with yogurt mixture. Makes 6 servings.
*Test Kitchen Tip: Instead of using a vanilla bean, you can add 1 teaspoon vanilla to pear liquid after cooking. Stir 1/2 teaspoon vanilla into yogurt mixture.
Make-Ahead Directions: Prepare as directed through Step 3. Place pears and cooking liquid in an airtight container. Place yogurt mixture in another airtight container. Cover and chill for up to 24 hours. Serve as directed in Step 4.
