Strain pear syrup into medium saucepan; add cranberry-apple juice. Bring mixture to boil. Add pears halves; simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Remove pears from liquid. Reduce liquid until slightly thickened. Pour over pears; refrigerate until cold. Serve in individual dessert dishes. Garnish with mint, if desired.

*Wine variation: Red or rose wine may be substituted for juice.
