- 1 bunch fresh basil torn
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Cup of Yum
Prepare the Skewers
- Slice the Jamón Serrano down the middle so the slices are thinner. This will make them easier to wrap/weave through the skewers, as you will use one of these half slices of Jamón on each skewer.
- Skewer the bottom of a slice of Jamón Serrano, then add a chunk of melon and a leaf of basil.
- Using the same long slice of Jamón Serrano, skewer it again, then add another chunk of melon and a basil leaf.
- Repeat multiple times until you run out of Jamón Serrano, then repeat for other skewers.
- Finish with a drizzle of the balsamic reduction, and serve chilled!
