I don't like it with honeydew melon. Tried it with the cantaloupe like others suggested. So yummy. Guests gobbled them up. You can really play with the presentation. I do a melon ball with a prosciutto bundle on a tooth pick or just sliced in cubed and wrapped in the prosciutto. Minus the honeydew i would give this recipe 5 stars.

A bumped-up version of a classic breakfast recipe I've had in Germany a few times. Pretty good. It's been well-recieved the couple times I've made it.

If I ever make these again I will use imported prosciutto. I didn't care for the taste of the Boar's Head. Great appetizer for an Italian themed dinner!

I have made these several times and have never been disappointed. Plus, they are different enough to impress others with their appearance and contrast in flavors. Highly recommended.

This is a dish I was often served in my 3 years living in Italy and I have to say never did they use mint... but it was interesting. I tried some mint on one and decided to leave it out. Superb after that!

I didn't have a melon baller so I attempted this with a spoon and it didn't work out quite right. It was easy enough to wrap it with prosciutto and stick a toothpick through it. The taste was great, two completely different tastes: spicy and sour so it was great.

I made this with West Texas "Pecos" catelope instead of honeydew and it was sweet & juicy wrapped in a suprememly salty layer of the prosciutto. The color combo was also eye-catching with the sprig of mint topper. A very elegant beginning at my upscale picnic. Served with shrimp filled croissant sandwiches & wine.

I too loved the sweet/salty juicyness! I cut my prosciutto into 3 skinny strips (lengthwise) & used just one strip per ball but I think it was still too much prosciutto. I think next time I will cut some off of the length of it (it won't go to waste...I'll add it to a sald or something) & leave just enough to wrap. I chopped the mint & added it to the lime juice...using toothpicks to secure the prosciutto. I also used the larger end of the melon baller & wish I had made smaller balls. Mine were a little big to just pop in your mouth. I want to try this again as a side salad & not as an appetizer... I'll follow Caroline C. & chop the prosciutto instaed of wrapping.

As I was just making this for my lunch today, I didn't bother at all with fancy presentation; I just sliced up the melon, roughly diced the prosciutto, and tossed them together with a light sprinkle of 'Lemon-Mint Vinegar.' It was so delicious! Thanks so much!

I tried this recipe for New Year's Eve. The preparation was easy (although it took longer than I thought to cut the proscutto and wrap the melon balls) and the taste was good but by the time I served it to my guests it had gotten soggy even though it had been in the fridge. I would suggest serving this asap after preparing.

I made this for Christmas Day and everyone raved about it. I don't have a melon baller so I just cut chunks of Honeydew Melon and Rockmelon. I placed a piece of fresh mint on each chunk of melon and wrapped in the prosciutto. As it's summer time in Australia at Christmas it was a perfect refreshing appetizer!

I used the mint only as a garnish and secured the proscuitto with a tootpick. Also, used a combination of cateloupe and honeydew melon balls. Loved the sweet/salty combination.
