I tried hot honey for the first time a couple years ago, and ever since I’ve wanted to make my own version. For one, hot honey is extremely versatile. I’ve seen it on pizza, salads, in salad dressings, and more. But I had a vision for this: why not drizzle the hot honey on prosciutto and melon, but add some ricotta cheese into the mix? This Calabrian pepper-infused honey made in my ONGROK Botanical Infuser machine was the finishing touch on this flavor masterpiece I had been dreaming up, and boy did it deliver.
The hot honey is the perfect compliment to salty prosciutto, juicy cantaloupe, and creamy ricotta cheese. I can’t think of a better snack to bring to upcoming holiday gatherings this year. Or even better, make some Calabrian pepper-infused hot honey and gift it to your friends!

Peel and slice your cantaloupe. Leave a little ledge in each wedge for the ricotta to rest on. Pat slices dry.
