How to prepare Melon con Jamon Serrano?
You first need to cut the honeydew melon into small cubes.
Afterward, cut the serrano ham slices in half and wrap one piece around every melon cube. Use toothpicks to hold the ham pieces in place.
Tip # 1: I recommend you to put the plate with your melon and ham cubes for around 20 minutes in the fridge before serving.
Tip #2: Serve the melon cubes immediately (or after 20 minutes in the fridge) because otherwise, the melon can waterlog the ham.
