Ingredients
  

  • 3 Pears (sliced into six lengthwise wedges)
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp Aged Balsamic
  • 18 slices Prosciutto di Parma
  • 4 tbs Crème Fraiche
  • Salt & Pepper (add to taste)
  • Fresh Rosemary (used to garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Turn the oven to 375 F
  • Mix the honey and balsamic vinegar in a bowl, and toss with the pears to coat.
  • Arrange in a baking sheet, and bake for about 25 minutes, or until tender, turning once. Let cool out of the oven.
  • Cut the burratta into slices. The slices should be about as wide as the slice of prosciutto. 
  • To assemble, place a slice of prosciutto flat on a board, and brush with crème fraiche. Add salt and pepper. Place a wedge of pear and a slice of burrata, at one end, leaving about ½ inch of prosciutto overlapping. Roll into a tight bundle, then, skewer with a stem of rosemary to hold the shape.
