I got a great suggestion from Notyourmomma, which I incorporated along with an idea of my own. I served this to friends after dinner tonight, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. It's simpleand elegant, and the flavors all marry very well. http://www.grouprecipes.com/89325/rosemary-scented-roasted-pears-chevre-with-prosciutto-and-balsamic-glaze-a-la-tina.html This is the kind of simple, not-too-sweet dessert that I enjoy to punctuate a lovely meal.
