6 stem-on Anjou pears, peeled
1 (750-ml) bottle Malbec wine
3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
1 lemon, peeled with a vegetable peeler
1 orange, peeled with a vegetable peeler
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup (240 ml) Mascarpone cheese, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 375°F (175°C).
Using a knife, trim the very bottom off each pear to create a flat surface. Stand the pears upright in a shallow roasting pan and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the wine, sugar, lemon and orange peels, and cinnamon stick. Bring them to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour the hot liquid over the pears in the roasting pan (they will not be submerged).
Bake the pears until soft when pierced with a knife, 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes, basting them with the liquid in the pan every 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the Mascarpone until fluffy.
To serve, place each pear in a bowl and pour over some of the liquid from the pan. Serve each with a spoonful of whipped Mascarpone.
