Ingredients
  

For the Skewers
  • 1 medium cantaloupe Look for ripe melons for maximum sweetness.
  • 1 medium honeydew Can be substituted with watermelon.
  • 8 slices prosciutto Choose sheets separated by wax paper.
  • 8 ounces ciliegine These are cherry-sized mozzarella balls.
  • 15 leaves mint Select small leaves for a refined look.

Equipment

  • bamboo skewers
  • melon baller
  • Kitchen scissors

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Melon: Scoop out 1-2 cups of melon balls from the cantaloupe and honeydew. Aim for a mix of colors. This will take about 10 minutes.
  2. Shape the Prosciutto: Cut prosciutto slices in half and roll into rose shapes. This step takes about 5 minutes.
  3. Assemble the Skewers: Thread a melon ball, prosciutto rose, and another melon ball onto the skewer. Add ciliegine after the last melon for creaminess. This assembly should take about 15 minutes.
  4. Arrange and Garnish: Arrange skewers on a platter and sprinkle mint leaves around for garnish.
  5. Chill and Serve: If not serving immediately, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to one hour. Serve chilled for best flavor.
