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.

Steps:
- Skewer melon wedges; wrap each with a slice of cured meat; and grill, flipping once, 1 to 2 minutes. Spritz with lime juice; serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe melons: Select melons that are heavy for their size and have a sweet aroma. Avoid melons with bruises or soft spots.
- Use high-quality prosciutto: Opt for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a delicate flavor. This will ensure that the melon and prosciutto complement each other well.
- Wrap the melon tightly: Make sure to wrap the melon tightly with the prosciutto so that it stays in place and doesn't unravel.
- Chill before serving: Chill the wrapped melon for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help to enhance the flavors and make the dish more refreshing.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Garnish the melon with fresh herbs such as basil, mint, or chives before serving. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Melon wrapped in prosciutto is a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's a simple dish to make, but it's sure to impress your guests.
