Meat and melon bites
60 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | large | Honeydew melon |
| 1 | large | Cantaloupe |
| 3 | ounces | Package very thinly sliced ham or turkey |
| Lettuce leaves | ||
Directions
Cut melons in half and remove seeds. Use a melon baller to scoop out pulp. Cut ham or turkey into 1-inch wide strips.
Wrap 1 strip of ham around each melon ball, then fasten with a toothpick.
Line 1 melon shell with lettuce leaves, then fill with wrapped melon balls. Makes about 60.
A fancy melon shell makes a great serving bowl. To make one, first, cut a thin slice off the bottom of a melon so it sits flat. Then, insert a knife at a 45-degree angle into the melon slightly above the middle and cut around the melon in a sawtooth manner.
