Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ripe but firm bosc pears, stem intact
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon chestnut honey
1/2 cup water
1 cinnamon sticks
Zest of 1 lemon
1 1/2 vanilla beans, split
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine wine, 1/4 cup chestnut honey, water, cinnamon, and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add the seeds and the scraped bean to the pot. Bring to a simmer, stirring. Pour the poaching liquid into a baking dish just large enough to hold the pears. Keeping stems intact, remove the core from the pear using a melon baller (apple corer) entering through the base and removing only the woody core and seeds. Trim the skin off the base only of the pear and place upright in baking dish. Bake the pears about 25 to 35 minutes or until tender. You must baste the pears with the liquid every 5 to 7 minutes. The skins should be crinkly. Remove from oven and let cool in the liquid.
  • Combine the mascarpone with the remaining 1 tablespoon chestnut honey. Using a pastry bag, fill each pear at its base with the mascarpone. Serve drizzled with poaching syrup.

Tips for Baking Stuffed Pears

  • Choose the right pears: Firm, ripe pears with a slight give when pressed are best. Bosc, Anjou, and Bartlett pears are all good choices.
  • Core the pears carefully: Use a sharp knife or melon baller to core the pears, being careful not to cut through the bottom.
  • Stuff the pears with your favorite filling: Common fillings include nuts, dried fruits, cheese, and spices. You can also use a combination of fillings.
  • Bake the pears until they are tender: The pears should be tender when pierced with a knife, but not so soft that they fall apart.
  • Serve the pears warm or at room temperature: Baked stuffed pears can be served warm or at room temperature. They can also be chilled and served cold.
