Melon, Prosciutto, and Mozzarella Skewers

1 medium cantaloupe, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 lb. thinly sliced prosciutto

20 small mozzarella balls (ciliegine)

For serving, optional:

Chopped fresh parsley

Balsamic reduction

 

Onto small cocktail skewers, thread prosciutto, mozzarella and melon cubes. Place on a serving platter.  Sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately after drizzling with balsamic reduction, if using.

Mix 1 C. Balsamic Vinegar with ½ C. brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until glaze is reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Glaze should coat the back of a spoon. Let cool and pour into a jar with a lid; store in refrigerator.
