Sweet cantaloupe, salty prosciutto, and tangy goat cheese come together beautifully in these Cantaloupe, Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Truffle Skewers. These are simple appetizers for a sophisticated palate!

Tips for picking the best cantaloupe:

• Choose melons that feel heavy for their size. This indicates juiciness and a higher concentration of flavor.
• With cantaloupe, push your fingers on the section where the vine was attached. It should be slightly soft (not mushy or hard) and smell slightly sweet and fresh.

Instructions 

Make the goat cheese truffles:

• Combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Fold in ½ cup chopped pecans.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the remaining pecans, dried cranberries, and parsley.
• Divide the cheese mixture into thirds. Form 6 balls from each third. Roll the balls in the pecan mixture to coat completely. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Assemble the skewers in the following order:
