Bring the wine to the boil in a tall pan along with all the other ingredients up to and including star anise. Reduce the heat. Peel the pears, leaving the stalks attached, add to the pan. Cook over a low heat for approx. 20 mins. until the pears take on some colour. Remove the pears, cover and set aside. Reduce the liquid to a syrupy consistency, leave to cool.

Caramelized nuts

Heat the nuts, sugar and butter in a pan, swirling the pan occasionally until the nuts caramelize, season with salt. Spread the nuts on a sheet of baking paper, leave to cool.

Mascarpone cream

Combine the mascarpone, yoghurt, honey and vanilla.

To serve

Spoon half of the cream onto small plates, arrange the pears on top. Sprinkle with the nuts. Serve with the syrup and the remainder of the cream.

Good to know
Note: The best pairing for this dessert is a light red wine (e.g. Pinot Noir) or a ready-made mulled wine (e.g. Heisser Hirsch).
Tip: Garnish with rosemary, thyme or mint, depending on the season.
