Inspired by this starter that I once had during a farewell lunch held for me by an ex-colleague, I decided to make this as a starter. I was served proscuitto with melon. Not a bad idea, combining the saltiness of the Italian ham with fruit, and really easy to make too. Other than the ham and fruit, what type of fruit is up to you. I used canned because I intended to transport it and didn't want liquid seeping from fresh fruit, but you can use fresh fruit too if serving at home. It's pretty flexible, you can skewer on hard cheese, vegetables, etc.
Ingredients
Ham/Italian proscuitto
Cocktail sausages
Canned fruit (I used lychees and pineapple)
Toothpicks
Cut to size e.g. I snipped the proscuito into smaller pieces, otherwise, the salt overwhelms the sweet. Taste testing is important here and a great excuse to eat!
Skewer away. Present prettily and serve.
