Prosciutto Wrapped Pears with Sweet Balsamic

By:  Maria



You can use any ripe pear for these salty-sweet morsels. This works well as an appetizer or a side to any meal - the saltiness of the prosciutto combined with the fresh flavor of the pear and the sweetness of the balsamic compliment each other incredibly well!

2 pears, cut into 8 wedges

8 paper-thin slices of prosciutto

Saba Balsamic Vinegar (this type of grape reduction lends a sweet flavor compared to other balsamic vinegars - it can be found at Caputo's Market & Deli)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap each pear wedge with one slice of prosciutto. Place on cookie sheet. Continue until all pear wedges are wrapped. Bake for 8 minutes. Drizzle with a bit of Saba Balsamic.  So easy, your little ones can help!

**A delicious variation to this recipe includes placing caramelized onion slices on top of pear wedge and wrapping with prosciutto - delicious!**
