Melon and Prosciutto

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Stir. Spread. Flip. Repeat: Melon and Prosciutto! If you are a fan of fresh fruit and cured meats, think of this little gem as a party accompaniment. It satisfies the inner carnivore with its dry-cured flavor, appearance of ham or bacon, and its slightly salty texture. Pair it with a tender, juicy cube of cantaloupe for a distinctive sweet bite of deliciousness. Party On.

MELON AND PROSCIUTTO

Ingredients:

12 2-inch cantaloupe cubes

4 ounces deli prosciutto, sliced

Decorative party picks

Instructions:

Using a kitchen shears, cut each slice of prosciutto horizontally into two equal strips. Repeat until 12 portions are allotted. Fan a prosciutto strip like an accordion. Then pierce each piece of prosciutto with a party pick and stick into the center of a cantaloupe cube. Transfer to a serving platter. Repeat until all ingredients are used. Serve chilled.
