Steps:
- Prepare the cantaloupe and cut it into wedges. I find it easier to peel the cantaloupe, once you cut it. So, first, cut the cantaloupe in half. Using a spoon, remove the seeds. Then cut each half into wedges and peel them.
- Wrap the prosciutto around the cantaloupe wedges and arrange them on a serving platter (left some wedges without prosciutto, since I had more cantaloupe to use up).
- Drizzle a little bit of balsamic glaze or quality honey (or both, if you like) If using, arrange a few basil leaves on the platter. I loved the addition of fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness, but this is totally optional.
- Serve immediately or chill for a few hours until ready to serve.

PROSCIUTTO AND MELON (PROSCIUTTO Y MELONI)
Another way-too-simple-to-post recipe, but this is a frequent appetizer in our house and so I'm putting it here so I can add it to menus, shopping lists etc. I know that lots of others tend to make salads of this combination, but I prefer just a wedge of fruit with prosciutto. The combination of sweet and salty is unbeatable!
