Pears could be stuffed with many different things to create a lovely dessert. Fresh pears could be stuffed with ricotta or mascarpone cheese that has been slightly sweetened with honey. That might be used as is, or blended with crushed nuts, bits of chopped chocolate, cookie crumbs or apricot jam. Poached pears might be stuffed with mincemeat, a flavored hard sauce or sweetened ricotta cheese.
Ricotta is a soft cheese, similar to cottage cheese. It is usually found in the same refrigerated section of your supermarket as cottage cheese. The most common brand name is "Precious" and is a white plastic tub with a red and green logo (think the colors of the Italian flag). Ricotta is typically used for Italian dishes (like lasagna or stuffed manicotti), but can be very versatile.
The one recipe that is used quite often at Christmas in Italy is panetone. Other recipes are pizelle, ricotta cookies, pignoli and stuffed figs coated in honey.
