Pere all’aceto balsamico

Roasted Pears w/ balsamic vinegar is a refined autumn appetizer perfect to serve before a large feast.  Add flare to your holiday or any meal by serving this elegant dish!  This   Nothing can be more delicious than a roasted pear with Redstone Olive Oil Lavender Balsamic reduction served over a bed of fresh salad greens and prosciutto!

I taught this class recently at Restone Olive Oil in Draper and Farmington locations and the guests loved it!  This is such a versatile recipe because you can serve it as a salad, an appetizer or even as dessert!

I brought this to a birthday party for a close Italian friend of ours and plated it by cutting each piece of pear into small pieces and wrapping them individually with prosciutto then drizzling the Lavendar Balsamic Reduction generously over the plate.  All I had to do was bring tooth-pics to serve!  My appetizer was devoured up with compliments and “Who made this?”  Much to my pleasure!  I was so happy to share something that pleased the hosts and the guests alike!

Get adventurous with what type of balsamic you choose!  If you don’t live near Redstone Olive Oil, they ship to you!  Try apricot, cinnamon pear, traditional, fig, passion fruit or raspberry!

Buon appetitto!
