1. Cut each pear half into 4 long pieces, to make 16. You'll need 12, so eat the rest.
2. Combine the pears and lemon juice and season.
3. Put a pear slice and a few leaves of rocket on each prosciutto slice. Add a shaving of parmesan, roll tightly and secure with 2 toothpicks.
4. Roll all the others, then cut each in half in between the toothpicks.

Get Ahead

The rolls can be made up to 4 hours in advance, then covered in baking parchment and wrapped in clingfilm. Keep chilled.

  This was very tasty, the sweet of the pear went well with the saltiness of the prosciutto. I just found it a bit tricky wrapping it all as the prosciutto tends to tear.

  So easy to make and were delicious. The pear and the cheese work brilliantly with the ham. Will be making this again most definately.
