Steps:
- Peel the pears using a swivel-bladed paring knife. Cut away the stems.
- Combine enough water to cover the pears when added and 4 tablespoons lemon juice and add the pears as they are peeled.
- Cut the pears lengthwise in half. Scoop out the cores, and a little of the meat, of each half to form a nice-sized cavity.
- Combine the 3 cups water with 1 1/2 cups of the sugar and the vanilla bean or extract. Bring to the boil and add the pear halves and the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice. When the mixture returns to the boil reduce the heat and cook about 20 minutes or until pears are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove the pears and reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Let the pears cool.
- Put half of the berries in the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend while gradually adding the reserved 1 cup of pear-cooking liquid and the orange juice. This mixture may be used as is, but it is best to put it through a fine sieve of the sort known in French kitchens as a chinois, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. There should be about 1 1/3 cups.
- Fill the cavity of each pear with about 3 of the remaining berries. Quickly invert the pears on an ovenproof serving dish.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff and gradually beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Continue beating until stiff. Spoon the resulting meringue into a pastry bag outfitted with a star-shaped tube (No. 3B). Squeeze out the meringue in star patterns over the pears. Pour the sauce around the pears. Place the dish under the broiler about 4 inches from the source of heat. Broil briefly until the tips of the stars are browned. Garnish around the sauce with a circle of the remaining raspberries.

Steps:
- Combine 2 cups cranberry-raspberry juice drink, 1 1/4 cups sugar, 1/2 cup Campari and orange peel strips in heavy large saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cover and reduce heat to very low, keeping poaching liquid hot.
- Peel pears, leaving stems attached. Rub pears all over with cut lemon halves. Using melon baller, remove cores through wide end of pears, then cut thin slice off wide ends so that pears can stand upright. Add pears to poaching liquid. Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat until pears are tender, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes. Cool pears in poaching liquid. Refrigerate until cold, at least 6 hours.
- Puree raspberries with their syrup, 2 tablespoons orange liqueur and currant jelly in blender. Strain raspberry sauce through fine sieve. Chill until cold, about 1 hour. (Pears and raspberry sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and keep refrigerated.)
- Whisk mascarpone, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons orange liqueur in bowl to blend.
- Spoon some raspberry sauce onto plates. Stand pears upright in center of sauce. Spoon dollops of mascarpone mixture alongside. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm pears for poaching. This will help them hold their shape and flavor.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot for poaching the pears. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the pears from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Add a little bit of lemon juice to the poaching liquid. This will help to keep the pears white and prevent them from browning.
- Poach the pears until they are just tender. You can test this by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center of a pear. If it goes in easily, the pear is done.
- Let the pears cool completely before serving. This will help them to hold their shape and flavor.
- Serve the pears with your favorite toppings, such as raspberry sauce, whipped cream, or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Poached pears with raspberry sauce is a classic dessert that is both elegant and delicious. It is perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight meal. With just a few ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dessert that will impress your friends and family.
