Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Split vanilla bean lengthwise and set one half aside. Scrape seeds from other half into a small saucepan, and add the pod, 1/4 cup sugar, and the water. Bring to a boil, then simmer 10 minutes to infuse vanilla flavor into syrup. Strain and set aside.
- Peel pears, and cut in half lengthwise, leaving stems on. Cut out core, scooping out a little extra flesh. Trim off a little flesh on round side so that halves will lie nicely on a plate.
- In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and stir until melted. Add pears, cut side down, and cook until brown, shaking pan occasionally. Turn over and cook a few minutes more. Transfer to a baking dish, and pour vanilla syrup over pears. Add other half of vanilla bean. Slice figs lengthwise and put 1 or 2 slices in center of each pear. Spoon a little syrup over figs and bake until soft and tender, about 30 minutes, depending on ripeness of pears. Serve hot or warm.
GLAZED FIGS WITH MASCARPONE CREAM
Steps:
- For the cream: In an electric mixer whip the mascarpone until smooth. Continue whipping and slowly add the cream in a steady stream. Add the sugar and whip for 3 minutes.
- For the figs: In a small pot combine the orange juice, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and zest.
- Boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Toss the figs with the glaze and spread, cut side up, in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Cook under the broiler for 6 to 8 minutes, until lightly caramelized. Serve the warm figs with the mascarpone cream and toasted walnuts.
HONEY-POACHED PEARS WITH MASCARPONE
Mascarpone gives a tangy contrast to the sweetness of pears that have been poached in vanilla-scented white wine.

Steps:
- Toss pears with lemon juice in large bowl. Set aside. Combine 1 cup water, wine and honey in medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Stir over medium heat until honey dissolves. Add pears. Cover mixture with round piece of parchment paper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until pears are just tender when pierced, turning when half-way through cooking, about 15 minutes.
- Using slotted spoon, transfer pears to large bowl. Boil poaching liquid until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 2 minutes. Cool syrup. Pour syrup over pears. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 8 hours or overnight. Remove vanilla bean.
- Whisk mascarpone cheese, sugar and brandy in large bowl until smooth. Add 1/4 cup chilled poaching syrup and whisk until soft peaks form.
- Thinly slice each pear half lengthwise, leaving slices attached at stem end. Using metal spatula, transfer pears to plates. Gently press on pears to fan slightly. Spoon some syrup over pears. Spoon mascarpone cream alongside each pear half and serve.

Steps:
- For Crust: Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Using on/off turns, cut in butter and cream cheese until coarse meal forms. With machine running, pour just enough water down feed tube to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball. Divide dough in half. Flatten each half into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour. (Can be made 2 days ahead.)
- For Filling: Mix sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt in large bowl. Mix in pears, prunes and figs. Sprinkle brandy over and mix well. Let stand 15 minutes to allow juices to form.
- Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 400° F. Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 14-inch-diameter round. Transfer to 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish; gently press dough into place. Spoon filling into crust, mounding slightly in center. Roll out second dough disk on lightly floured surface to 14-inch-diameter round. Drape dough over filling. Trim dough overhang to 1/2 inch. Press edges together to seal and fold under. Crimp edge decoratively. Brush top of crust (but not edge) with glaze. Cut several small slits in crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake pie until crust is golden brown and pears are tender when pierced through steam vents, about 50 minutes. Cool slightly and serve.
GRILLED DESSERT PIZZA WITH PEARS, FIGS, AND HONEY MASCARPONE
Pizza makes a fun dessert, and this one can be served for breakfast as well. It's topped with seasonal fruit and a dollop of honey-flavored mascarpone cheese, but you can serve it with vanilla bean ice cream instead, if you prefer. Try other grilled fruits such as peaches or nectarines on this pizza.

Steps:
- Prepare a medium-hot fire (425° to 450°F) in a wood-fired grill.
- Place the pears and figs in a bowl and gently toss with the balsamic vinegar. Grill the pears until marked but not charred on both sides. Lightly grill the cut sides of the figs. Remove from the heat and toss with the 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, then set aside to cool slightly. Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces if desired.
- Combine the honey and mascarpone in a small bowl. Stir in the orange zest and set aside.
- Flour a wood pizza peel; shape each dough ball into an 8- or 10-inch round on the peel. Lightly brush the top of the rounds with olive oil. Take to the grill and flip the rounds, oiled side down onto the grill. Cover and cook until puffed and marked from the grill, about 5 minutes. Turn over, brush with orange olive oil, and top sparingly with the pears and figs. Sprinkle more turbinado sugar over the tops of the pizzas, including the edges. Cook for 5 minutes, until the crust is golden.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve topped with the mascarpone mixture.
