I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the prosciutto from this recipe. It was still delicious!

I'm allergic to raspberries, so I substituted blackberries instead. They worked just as well.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover melon. I had some cantaloupe that was about to go bad, and this dish was the perfect way to use it up.

I found that the melon was a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try using a different type of melon next time, like cantaloupe or honeydew.

The green peppercorns give this dish a nice spicy kick. If you're not a fan of spice, you could always omit them or use less.
