Prepare the Cantaloupe
Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds using a spoon. Then, slice each half into wedges, about 1 inch thick. You can peel the rind off if you prefer, but it is not necessary.

Wrap with Prosciutto
Take a slice of prosciutto and wrap it around each wedge of cantaloupe. Make sure to cover most of the surface of the melon with the prosciutto to enhance the flavor.
