Prosciutto Wrapped Melon
We admit, this is not really a recipe, but prosciutto-wrapped melon chunks are easy to make, really pretty and everyone loves them, so we thought they were an appetizer worth documenting. For presentation, we like to top each piece with a seedless grape and skewer them with a pick.

How far in advance can these be assembled?
Hi Joan,
You can assemble these 4 to 6 hours in advance. Just cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, then bring them to room temperature 30 minutes before serving.
This is one of my favorite appetizers to serve when melon is in season~ it is inviting to look at and very refreshing .
Hi Barb,
Melon and prosciutto is a favorite of mine – I love the contrasting salty and sweet.
