It's a common appetizer in Italy. Pop a piece of melon, then a rolled up slice of prosciutto, together.....heaven. I don't know if its the contrast of flavors or textures, but once you've had it this way, you'll be ruined forever. No cheap prosciutto though!! Get the imported, expensive brand, you only need a little and it's so worth it.Little Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07007055723627111742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-11491791628798879972016-08-20T10:11:25.823-05:002016-08-20T10:11:25.823-05:00Link of pictures to give you idea on what it looks...Link of pictures to give you idea on what it looks like.<br />https://www.google.com/search?q=jello+melon+wedges&biw=1536&bih=787&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi89f-Uo9DOAhWD5SYKHcqFC9sQsAQIJgColleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-42235049235056647742016-08-20T10:07:55.101-05:002016-08-20T10:07:55.101-05:00That looks so good.

You take a melon, cut in half,scoop out the seeds, cutting a small section on the bottom of each half so it sets level.<br />In bowl, mix your favorite flavor of jello with 1 1/2 cups Hot water, stir until dissolved; whisking for about 2 minutes and add 1 cup ice cold water.<br />Place the jello in the refrigerator for about 15 - 20 minutes or just until it starts to thicken (you don't want it to gel up) but yet thick it enough so it doesn't soak into the melon.<br />Pour jello into melon, place in refrigerator until it gels up.<br />Note: You might want to place the melon halves in cake pan placed in the refrigerator first before filling and then using a measuring cup to fill the melon and leave till jello has set up.<br />When ready to eat, slice with sharp and slightly wet knife.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-18187361769593051022016-08-20T05:05:22.988-05:002016-08-20T05:05:22.988-05:00Cantaloupe makes me happy!

It's true that they have a cooling effect just by eating them. <br /><br />I wanted to tell you that those canning lids are <a href="http://www.reusablecanninglids.com/" rel="nofollow">Tattler reusable canning lids.</a> I just love them. They come with lids and rubber rings (which eventually have to be replaced but can be bought separately), and only require small adjustments in technique.

I made smoothies for him with it in the summer since he cannot stand bananas. Aren't we the pair?! (frozen strawberries, blueberries, oj, yogurt, and either banana or cantaloupe)<br /><br />Mama would eat cantaloupe with cottage cheese. When I was an adult, she tried to entice me to have some, "just one bite." <br /><br />I buy them when they are $0.98/each, give the seeds and rind to chicken and slice and cube the rest for him in a gallon bag to carry home after he eats some here. He is in heaven.
