As we are in the holiday season, deserts are a big part of the season. Poach pear tarts are quite simple to make and is a real wow factor with the colors of the red wine leaching into the light color of the pears and the whole how would be filled with a great smell from the cinnamon and orange. The Light and flaky tart with the rich and creamy mascarpone cheese topped with the soft, tender poached pears do make a great tasting tart that will please any group. In a sauce pan, combine the wine, sugar, orange zest, cinnamon stick and clove. Bring to a boil and lower temperature until it simmers. While the liquid heats, peal the pears completely and slice the bottom off to make a flat side. Once liquid is warm and simmering, add the pears and cook for 20-25mintus until a bold red color and soft. Rotate the pears carefully in the cooking liquid if they are not fully covered. Rotate every 5-10minutes. Remove and let cool for 10-15 minutes until cooled. Cut the pears in half long way and spoon out seeds and place on lined sheet pan. Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 3hours, overnight is preferred. In a bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, honey and cardamom together until well combined. Slice each sheet of puff pastry sheet into 6 equal pieces. Place about 1 teaspoon of the mascarpone cheese mixture on each puff pastry square, leaving about ½-3/4" bare on each side.
