The ice cold sweet juicy melon is a natural pair for the salty sweet cured ham. In this recipe I crisp the prosciutto quickly in a pan to give a contrast in texture. A good friend gave us a whole leg of prosciutto as a gift one year not knowing I was pregnant and was not permitted to eat prosciutto. Never one to be deterred from eating, I would crisp my prosciutto in a frying pan and snack away. Since then I have been using prosciutto crisps in salad, with fish and now with soup. The dish is super simple to make and is easily portable (just give a shake or stir to the melon before serving).
