I have fond memories of melon with prosciutto while traveling in Italy so I thought this woud be fabulous. However, rapping the meat around the 1 inch sized cubes (too big) of fruit lead to a strage texture sensation and weird tastes. The best way to serve this combination is next to one another so they can be enjoyed nearly together but not in exactly the same bite. I will not make this again.
