Lost recipe

Does anyone have the Greek yogurt panna cotta with poached pears recipe from Bon Appetit, January 2010? I threw out the magazine before retrieving the recipe and it isn't available online.

Thanks!

        Just as an FYI, I believe you can search the Bon Appetit site for archived recipes.

          yes, the BA site and Epicurious both archive recipes from the magazine, but this particular one happens not to be on either site for some reason.

      Can't help with the Bon Appetit original (I tossed mine out too) but here's one that might work if you substitute pears for the prunes in the ingredients.
