Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons butter, melted
• 3  tablespoons honey

Directions

1. Combine the butter, honey, lime juice and nutmeg in a small saucepan.

4. Peel the cantaloupe, de-seed it and cut into 6 wedges.
5. Peel the pineapple and cut it into 6 slices 3/4" thick.
6. Do not core the pineapple as it will make it easier to handle on the grill.
7. Brush both sides of the ham with the basting sauce and put on a medium hot grill (about 6" above the coals).
8. Cook for 16-20 minutes, turning and basting frequently.
9. About 8 minutes before the ham is done, baste the fruit with the sauce and place it on the grill.

11. To serve, place the ham and fruit on a platter and cut thin slices across the grain of the ham.
