Instructions

1. Remove seeds from the melons and cut out melon balls using a ball cutter. Scrape out the remaining melon flesh with a spoon and set aside.
2. Melon Salad: Season the melon balls with port wine, ginger, and pepper. Return the marinated balls to a hollowed melon half and garnish with sliced Parma, San Daniele, or Serrano ham.
3. Melon Soup: Scrape melon pulp and mix with the remaining melon balls, ginger, port wine, and pepper.
4. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry ham slices until crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Pour the melon soup into iced cups or glasses and top with the crispy fried ham.
6. Melon Boat: Quarter a melon and cut the flesh into roughly 5 pieces. Arrange the pieces back on the skin.
7. Wrap ham slices around the melon pieces and arrange on a serving plate with bread sticks on the side.
