PEPPERY CANTALOUPE CUBES
I love sharing these two ingredient recipes, though this one may sound a little odd. I must admit when I heard a chef on TV say that freshly ground black pepper on sweet cantaloupe is exceptional, I was thinking more like- bizarre! But once you taste this, especially you cantaloupe lovers, you may never eat it any other way.

Steps:
- Divide cantaloupe cubes into 4 dessert bowls.
- Using pepper mill, grind freshly ground black pepper over cantaloupe to taste.
- Note; Be sure to use freshly ground black pepper- I'm not sure if regular pepper would have the same effect.
- A very ripe cantaloupe, the sweeter the better, works best.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. On a parchment lined baking sheet, place your prosciutto slices in a single layer. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until the prosciutto crisps, then remove and set aside.
- In a blender, combine the cantaloupe, cucumber, bell pepper, salt, vinegar, and olive oil. Blend very well until extremely smooth. Strain into an air-tight container and allow to chill in the fridge for at least an hour (this can be made the day before serving as well).
- When ready to serve, portion the chilled soup evenly into bowls, then garnish with freshly picked basil, a few pieces of the crisped prosciutto, an extra drizzle of olive oil, and a fresh crack of black pepper. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose ripe cantaloupes: Look for cantaloupes that have a deep orange color, a sweet aroma, and a slight give when you press on them gently.
- Cut the cantaloupe into small cubes: This will help the cantaloupe absorb the flavors of the marinade more easily.
- Make the marinade ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to develop and meld together.
- Use a variety of peppers: This will add complexity and depth of flavor to the marinade.
- Let the cantaloupe marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will give the cantaloupe time to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Grill or roast the cantaloupe: This will caramelize the sugars in the cantaloupe and give it a slightly smoky flavor.
- Serve the cantaloupe immediately: This is when it will be at its best.
Conclusion:
Peppery Cantaloupe Cubes are a delicious and refreshing snack or side dish. They are perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or potlucks. The combination of sweet cantaloupe, spicy peppers, and tangy lime juice is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful dish, give Peppery Cantaloupe Cubes a try!
