I often saw these bites on restaurant menus and thought about how simple they must be to prepare at home. The fresh mint from our garden adds a bright kick to these already delectable temptations. You could use different herbs with the prosciutto; herbes de Provence just provides another level of taste. -Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the honeydew. This will help to prevent the melon from tearing.

  • Wrap each slice of honeydew with a slice of prosciutto. Make sure the prosciutto is slightly overlapping the melon.
  • Drizzle the wrapped honeydew slices with balsamic reduction. You can use a store-bought balsamic reduction or make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar until it has thickened.
  • Serve the wrapped honeydew slices immediately. They can be served as an appetizer or as part of a main course.
