Ingredients
 

  • 1 bottle 750ml. dry white wine

  • 2-1 " wide strips lemon peel don't include the white pith
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Cinnamon Mascarpone

  • 1 cup mascarpone

Instructions
 

  • In a saucier pan or large saucepan add wine, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel, cinnamon stick and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes. Add the pears and simmer for 20-30 min. until pears are tender, don't overcook. Remove the pears to a bowl. Bring the poaching liquid up to a boil and continue cooking until reduced by half, about 10 min.
