4 slices prosciutto

4 T.s balsamic vinegar

4 slices fresh parmesan cheese

2 pears, any variety

4 sprigs mint

 

Peel, halve, & core the pears. Grill the pears on medium heat, turning once, until they are heated through & have nice grill marks on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Alternately, you can sauté the pears in a little butter or apple juice to heat them through & soften them up a bit. Place one pear half on each plate. Top each pear half with a slice of prosciutto, followed by a slice of parmesan (use a potato peeler to get a nice, thin slice), & then a mint leaf. Drizzle a T. of balsamic vinegar around each pear half. Spice up with salt & pepper if desired.
