Wash lemons thoroughly, dab dry and peel the peel of one lemon as a thin spiral. Squeeze the lemon. Bring lemon juice and zest, cinnamon, 75 g sugar and 1/2 litre water to the boil in a saucepan. Wash and halve the pears and cut out the core. Add the pears to the stock and stew covered for 20-30 minutes. In the meantime, finely grate the peel of the second lemon and squeeze the juice.
Stir curd cheese, remaining sugar, lemon juice and zest until smooth. Whip the cream until stiff and fold into the quark. Lift the pears out of the stock, drain and sprinkle the cut surfaces with pear brandy. Let the pear halves cool down. Fill pear halves with cranberries and arrange on plates with the quark.
