  • 1 honeydew melon, cut in half, seeded, and scooped out, and cut into 1-inch piece, reserving the empty melon halves
  • 2 cantaloupes, cut in half, seeded, and scooped out, and cut into 1-inch pieces reserving the empty cantaloupe halves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar or season according to taste
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons port wine
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 6 tablespoons Prosciutto di Parma bits (1 tablespoon per serving)
