Ingredients

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1 red Bartlett pear, cored, halved, and thinly sliced

2 ounces very thinly sliced prosciutto

Ground pepper

Preparation

In a small saucepan, bring vinegar to a boil; cook, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 5 minutes.

Divide the pear slices between two plates, arranging them in a circular pattern; top with prosciutto. Drizzle with balsamic syrup as desired, and season with pepper.
