Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut prosciutto into 24 two-inch squares. Place one square (overlapping any tears) in each cup of a mini cupcake tin. Bake until fat turns golden, about 15 minutes. Using a fork, immediately transfer to a paper towel to drain; cool completely. In a small bowl, combine pear and juice. Place 1/2 teaspoon mixture in each cup just before serving.
Be sure your proscuitto is not too thin or it's impossible to separate, cut or arrange in muffin cups. My first try ended up being crushed and sprinkled on top of the pears like bacon bits. Tasty, but not anything like the picture.
Thanks Null...I was looking for something else to put inside and this sounds great.
