Time 50m

Yield 36 purses, 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 medium cantaloupe (about 3 pounds)
1 medium honeydew (about 3 pounds)
1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced prosciutto (about 36 slices)
2 bunches fresh chives, blanch 36 and save remaining for garnish

Steps:

  • Working with 1 melon at a time, cut in 1/2. Gently scrape out seeds and membrane and discard. Using a melon baller, scoop out rounds from flesh and place in large bowl. Discard skin.
  • Keep the prosciutto loosely covered with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out as you start to assemble 1 purse at a time. Place 1 melon ball in the center of a prosciutto slice, gather all sides to the top and secure with a blanched chive. It may be necessary to overlap a few pieces of prosciutto in order to completely wrap the melon ball. Place finished purse, seam side down onto a baking sheet and keep covered. Repeat with remaining prosciutto and melons. Can make it only up to 2 hours ahead of time because the salt in the prosciutto will break down the melon.
  • Scatter the chives onto a decorative platter. Place prosciutto purses on top and serve.

Overall, I thought these prosciutto purses were just okay. I might try a different recipe next time.

These prosciutto purses were a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I had a hard time finding prosciutto that was thin enough to make these purses. I ended up using regular ham instead.

These prosciutto purses were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would drain the spinach better next time.

I found these prosciutto purses to be a bit bland. I think I would add some more herbs or spices to the filling next time.

These prosciutto purses were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less prosciutto next time.

I've made these prosciutto purses several times now and they are always a hit. I love the combination of the salty prosciutto and the sweet and tangy filling. They are the perfect appetizer for any occasion.

These prosciutto purses are so easy to make and they are always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.
