Recipe for Meat And Melon Bites

Ingredients

1 large honeydew melon
1 large cantaloupe
3 oz package very thinly sliced ham or t; urkey
1 lettuce leaves

Instructions

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.
