How to Make Prosciutto-Wrapped Melon Skewers with Mint
  1. Prepare the Melon: Slice melon into 1-inch cubes, discarding rind and seeds.
  2. Slice the Prosciutto: Tear each prosciutto slice lengthwise into strips large enough to wrap one melon cube.
  3. Wrap Each Cube: Envelop each melon cube in a prosciutto strip, pressing edges to seal.
  4. Thread the Skewers: Slide one wrapped cube onto each wooden skewer, leaving a handle at the end.
  5. Add Mint & Season: Tuck a fresh mint leaf between melon and prosciutto, then crack black pepper over each.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Arrange skewers on a platter, cover, and chill for 15–20 minutes.
