Yield 6 pears, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 firm bartlett pears
1 (750 ml) bottle dry red wine
1 vanilla bean, whole
2 cinnamon sticks
2 bay leaves
2 cups sugar
16 ounces mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup whipped cream
1 pinch cinnamon
1/2 cup icing sugar
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Peel pears and leave stem intact. In a large pan, bring wine and an equal amount of cold water to a simmer. Split vanilla bean lengthwise and add to wine & water. Add cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and sugar, to taste. Add pears to liquid and simmer for about 20 min or until tender. Cool pears in wine mixture to room temperature. Refrigerate in poaching liquid (overnight).
