Fireball Poached Pears with Honey Ginger Marscapone





Pears-
4 - Pears, ripe
1 cup Fireball Whiskey
4 cups lemonade
1/8 teaspoon all spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
peel from 1 orange

Cheese
1/4 cup marscapone
3 Tbsp Honey
1/2 tsp Ginger

Put the lemonade, whiskey, allspice, cinnamon, and orange peal in a sauce pan and bring to a simmer.  Core the underside of the pears, leaving the pear in its normal shape with the cored end squared off so it will stand evenly.  Peel the pears, leaving the stem.  Put in the sauce, cover, and cook until the pears are soft.  Remove from heat and let them cool.   Mix the marscapone, honey, and ginger, then refrigerate.   In the serving dish put small dollops of cheese around the perimeter.  Place a pear in the middle and drizzle 2-3 Tbsp of the liquid over the pear.  Enjoy.
