Grilled Peaches Wrapped in Serrano Ham

Name: Grilled Peaches Wrapped in Serrano Ham
Yield: serves 8 to 12
Ingredients: 3 large freestone peaches (about 1 1/2 pounds); 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil; 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme; 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper; 3 ounces Spanish serrano ham or prosciutto, sliced paper thin

Like the marriage of prosciutto and melon, this duo explores the harmony of salty and sweet. Replace the peaches with nectarines, figs, or pears, if you prefer, or offer a combination. It’s an easy, juicy hors d’oeuvre for a hot summer evening. Although you can wrap the charred fruit with prosciutto, the nutty, earthy serrano ham from Spain is less commonplace and may be a discovery for some of your guests. Don’t wrap the fruit ahead or the ham will soften.
