Ingredients
- 1 whole Rockmelon (Cantaloupe)
- 12 slices Prosciutto
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 12 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 pinch Black pepper (freshly cracked)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the rockmelon in half and scoop out the seeds. Remove the rind, then slice the flesh into 12 equal-sized wedges.
Step 2
Wrap each rockmelon wedge with one slice of prosciutto, securing the prosciutto around the melon snugly.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened slightly to a glaze consistency. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Step 4
Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped melon wedges on a serving platter.
Step 5
Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the melon slices.
Step 6
Garnish each wedge with a fresh basil leaf, a light drizzle of olive oil, and a crack of fresh black pepper.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy this sweet, savory, and tangy dish!
