1
Zest the lemon and stir the zest into the olive oil. Let sit while you prepare the appetizer.
2
Juice the lemon into a large bowl and throw the two spent lemon halves into the bowl as well. Fill with cold water.
3
Core and quarter the pear, and cut each quarter into 4 slices (16 slices total). Throw each slice into the bowl of lemon water while you cut the others to prevent browning.
4
Cut each prosciutto slice in half.
5
Drain the pear slices and wrap a piece of prosciutto around each slice. Drizzle with the reserved lemon-infused olive oil before serving.
