Directions:
- PREPARE PEARS:.
- Peel pears. Trim bottoms so that they sit flat. Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out and discard cores.
- Place pears in a very large, wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add cinnamon sticks and juices.
- Scrape out seeds from vanilla bean and stir in; add scraped bean husks, too.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer, occasionally turning pears over carefully to ensure even cooking, until almost tender but still a little firm, about 20-25 minutes.
- PREPARE CHEESECAKE STUFFING:.
- In a bowl, stir cream cheese with vanilla extract, ginger and almond extract (if using) until mixed. If the mixture is too thick to stir easily, add a few spoonfuls of hot pear cooking liquid. (The sauce mixture up to this point may be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated.).
- Stir in cranberries and almonds.
- STUFF PEARS:.
- Carefully spoon pears onto a large platter. Cover and refrigerate to cool completely.
- Boil remaining pear liquid in pan, stirring often, until it reduces to 1/2 cup. The sauce will foam and bubble toward the end of cooking, so be sure to stir often.
- Remove from heat and discard cinnamon sticks and vanilla husks. (Up to this point, pears and sauce can be made the night before.).
- To serve, fill pears with cream cheese mixture. (Stuffed pears may be refrigerated up to 6 hours before serving. Allow pears and sauce to come to room temperature before serving.).
- Place on plates and spoon sauce over the top.
