Total time: 30 to 60 minutes
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
Ingredients for 6 servings
- 800 g (1 lb. 12 oz.) sapphire Melon
- 100 ml (6 tbsp.) liquid honey
- 6 sheets of gelatin
- 2 tbsp. Espelette Chili chili powder
- 150 g (5 oz.) Bayonne Ham
- 1 lemon
- 200 ml (3/4 cup)
Method
  1. Peel and seed the melon; cut into pieces. Macerate the melon pieces for 15 minutes in the honey, lemon zest and Sauternes.
  2. Meanwhile, cut the Bayonne ham into thin slices; place them between two sheets of parchment paper and place everything between two baking sheets.
  3. Cook in a preheated 175° C (345° F) oven for about 10 minutes in order to dry the ham and make it crispy.
  4. Soften the sheets of gelatin in some cold water. 
  5. In a blender, liquefy the melon and its marinade as smoothly as possible; take a little of the mixture and bring to a boil.
  6. Add the softened drained gelatin and whisk until melted.
  7. Stir the gelatin mixture into the remaining melon mixture and pour into a loaf pan. Refrigerate for 12 hours.  
  8. When set, cut the melon jelly into 2 cm cubes, coat one side with Espelette chili and top with a ham chip.
