should this be baked in the oven?

[ChefTips]

@flyingmoomoo No, you eat it raw.

What a great but simple recipe ! Wondering if I could melt the jam in the microwave then dip the cut edge of the pear in it before wrapping in the proscuitto...it would keep the pear from browning & avoid the squishing out of the jam ..maybe soiling the eaters outfit?

[ChefTips]

@mukwah1111 Thanks! The jam is very soft, and you just put on a little bit. It soaks up into the pear and is covered by the prosciutto. I think the jam would melt too much in the micro. Hope you enjoy it!

Is Peosciutto made of pig or cow?

Thank you.

Hello. It is Italian for ham. Prosciutto it is not cooked ham but cured and is served very thinly sliced.

@leviandurai1232 i think a crisp pear gives great texture. that's the whole point of using pears.

[leviandurai1232]

@flyingmoomoo I'd try one raw and then try some baked too. Baking it would not only crisp the prosciutto but it would soften the pear... Mmmmm

I think even I can make this...Looks great!!!!

[mukwah1111]

OK that makes sense....will use my homemade Red Pepper Jelly and plan to serve them at a family gathering tomorrow . Thanks again Jason !! Happy Holidays to you and yours !!!
