Ingredients

1 Cantaloupe
4 to 5 ounces Prosciutto di Parma, (thinly sliced )
2 tbsp honey or balsamic glaze, (more to your liking (I used this Greek honey))
Basil leaves for garnish, (optional )

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.

Time 4h

Yield Sixteen servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 pounds boned pork loin
4 ripe cantaloupes, halved, seeded, cut into 1-inch-thick wedges and peeled

Steps:

Combine the rosemary, salt, pepper and olive oil and rub the mixture all over the pork loin. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
Start a charcoal grill. When coals are very hot, place the pork on the grill and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the pork from the grill and let the coals burn down for 10 minutes. Return the pork to the grill, cover and let cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 150 to 160 degrees, about 3 hours. If the pork is not done and the fire is out, finish cooking in the oven at 325 degrees. Let cool. Refrigerate until cold.
Trim the ends off of the pork and slice the roast as thin as possible. To serve, arrange the cantaloupe slices on plates or a large platter and drape 1 slice of pork over each piece of melon.
