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.
SPICED RED WINE POACHED PEARS
As elegant as they are delicious, poached pears are a splendid finish to dinners dressy or plain. Here, the poaching syrup is red wine, honey and good cold-weather spices: cloves, cinnamon and star anise. Look for pears that are ripe but still firm, and if you can, choose pears that have stems - they make for a more attractive dish. You can serve the pears soon after they're made or you can cover and refrigerate them in their syrup and serve them chilled or at room temperature. They're good on their own or alongside whipped cream or crème fraîche.

Steps:
- Halve the lemon, and remove 3 wide strips of rind. Peel the pears, leaving a topknot of skin and the stem, if it's attached; rub with the cut lemon. Working from the bottom, core the pears.
- Choose a pot that will hold the pears snugly. Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit inside the pot. Cut 4 slices from the lemon and put them, the strips of zest and all the other ingredients - except the pears - into the pot. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and add the pears, tops up - it's O.K. if they're not fully submerged. Cover with the paper circle and the pot's lid.
- Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes - the pears should still be slightly firm but easily pierced with the tip of a knife; transfer them to a bowl. Boil the syrup for 5 minutes, pour over the fruit and discard the spices. Serve slightly warm, at room temperature or chilled, with or without cream.

- Peel the pears and then split each one lengthwise down the middle. Carefully scoop out the seeds and cores of the pears.
- Combine the wine, water, sugar, orange and lemon peels, cinnamon stick, and vanilla in a saucepan just large enough to hold the eight pear halves. Bring the wine syrup to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat so the syrup is just barely simmering. Add the pears and poach them in the syrup for 12-15 minutes, depending on how ripe your pears were. Check them with a knife to see if they are tender all the way through. Once they are, remove the pears from the syrup with a slotted spoon and let them cool.
- Bring the syrup back to a boil and cook it down until the the syrup thickens and comes to 220F on a thermometer. This will take 10-12 minutes. Strain the syrup into a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
- To make the mascarpone cream: With a mixer, beat together 1/2 cup of the chilled syrup with the mascarpone. Set that aside. Pour the cream into a large bowl and beat with the mixer on high until you have stiff peaks. Add the mascarpone to the the cream and beat it together. Put the mascarpone cream in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
