Prosciutto Honeydew with Balsamic Reduction image

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

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes sweeter appetizers.

I'm not a big fan of honeydew melon, but I loved this recipe. The prosciutto and balsamic reduction really balance out the sweetness of the melon.

This was a delicious and easy appetizer to make. The prosciutto and honeydew melon were a perfect combination, and the balsamic reduction added a touch of sweetness and acidity. I will definitely be making this again!
