Steps:
- Put the butter in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the ham into 1/2 inch chunks. Add it and raise the heat to high.
- While the ham cooks- stir it occasionally, but let it brown a bit on the bottom-peel and core the pears and cut them into 1-inch chunks. Lower the heat to medium and add them to the pan; stir occasionally.
- Trim the beans, cut them into roughly 2-inch lengths, rinse them quickly, and add them to the skillet along with a sprinkling of salt and at least 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook for a minute, then raise the heat to medium-high, add the chicken stock, and stir.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are bright green and semi-tender, the pears are quite tender, and the liquid so reduced that it is essentially a sauce, 10 - 15 minutes. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Pears: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe but firm pears. Avoid pears that are too soft or bruised.
- Prep the Pears Properly: Peel and core the pears before slicing them. This will help them cook evenly and prevent the skin from becoming tough.
- Don't Overcook the Green Beans: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked green beans will lose their flavor and nutrients.
- Season to Taste: Use salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Green beans and pears are best served immediately after cooking. This will help them retain their color, texture, and flavor.
