Tips:

- Choose ripe, juicy melons for the best flavor. Look for melons that are heavy for their size and have a slightly sweet smell. - Use prosciutto that is thinly sliced. This will make it easier to wrap around the melon and will help to prevent the prosciutto from tearing. - If you don't have a melon baller, you can use a spoon to scoop out the melon balls. - If you are making the wraps ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. Bring them to room temperature before serving. - Serve the melon and prosciutto wraps with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as basil or mint.
