Ingredients:

2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice, divided
1 cup fresh or no-sugar-added frozen peach slices (about 5 ounces)*
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped pecans
Nonstick cooking spray
1/4 teaspoon canola oil
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar or Splenda^® Brown Sugar Blend
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup frozen no-sugar-added vanilla yogurt or ice cream

* If using fresh peaches, if desired, rub off excess peach fuzz with a clean towel. Halve and pit the peaches, then cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices.

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 teaspoons orange juice over fresh or frozen peach slices; gently toss and set aside.
2. Place pecans in medium nonstick skillet. Cook and stir over medium-low heat about 3 minutes or until lightly toasted. Transfer pecans to a small dish and set aside.
3. With skillet away from heat, lightly coat with cooking spray. Add oil to skillet; heat over medium-high heat. Add peach slices with juice; sauté for 2 to 3 minutes or until peaches begin to lightly brown, stirring occasionally. Transfer peaches to bowl.
4. In the skillet, melt butter over low heat. Stir in brown sugar, then stir in remaining 1 tablespoon orange juice. Cook and stir about 30 seconds or until slightly thickened. Remove skillet from heat.
5. Add peaches, pecans and vanilla to sauce. Gently toss until combined. Serve warm over frozen yogurt.
