    I made this recipe for my husband's grandmother for one of our "dessert nights" and she absolutely loved it. This is a beautifully easy and elegant dessert and I will make it again. Thanks!

    I made this for New Years last year and it was a huge hit. Beautiful presentation, tasted great. I did perpare the pears the day before and put them in the refer overnight in the liquid. This is a must to get the deep red color, as well as the WOW factor at your table.

    I made this as a practice run before Christmas. The family loved the pears. The recipe does make too much filling for 6 pears. Next time I will poach the pears and then refrigerate them in the poaching liquid the day before I serve them to get that dark wine color. Yum!

    Very pleasant and simple. I kept the sauce in a seperate bowl and was gone in no time. I did not use the filling to make it healthier. Even then it was delicious.

    Amazing dessert! Actually, it made a nice breakfast the next morning too. This recipe will truly impress and is fun to make. My mistake was filling the pears with the mascarpone before they were completely cooled. I went to transfer them onto a nicer dish and out came the melted filling! Having a proper apple corer is essential too. Try this one. Everyone will be glad you did.

    I made these for my husband on Valentines day and they came out excellent. The wine sauce was really amazing. I made a mascarpone filling with melted white chocolate, vanilla extract and confectioner sugar.

    It was a great a success at our dinner party. It was a light and delicate dessert that everyone enjoyed. FYI - The longer you let the pears chill in the juice - the pears will begin to take that deep burgundy color. Excellent recipe!

    I've made this several times and love it. It's great for family and impressive for guests. I like the marscapone filling thick so that it stands up in the soft pears.

    These were loved by all. I also had too much filling, but used it for crepes the next week. Next time I will serve half a pear with the filling either as a topping or a bed. A little shaved chocolate on top made it heaven.
