    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.
