Whip the cream with 1 tablespoon of sugar and the vanilla seeds until stiff, fold in the mascarpone, and then chill the cream. Peel and core the pears, then cut the fruit into medium-sized cubes. Melt the butter in a pan and add 1 tablespoon of sugar. Add the diced pears and toast lightly. Deglaze with the Williams Christ pear brandy (or pear juice), add the scraped vanilla pod, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod, puree the mixture, and let it cool. Crush the ladyfingers and sprinkle them evenly over the bottom of the dessert glasses. Pour in some of the mascarpone and cream mixture, then layer the pureed pear mixture, and finish with the mascarpone and cream mixture. Sprinkle with pistachios. Chill and serve after two hours.
