  2. Thin honey with water & dip prosciutto slices in it.
  3. Cut prosciutto into 1/4-inch strips & use them to wrap up thyme-coated fig slices.
  4. Cut melon into thin slices.
  5. Just before serving, cut remaining figs into 6 wedges & arrange them on chilled salad plates with ham-wrapped figs & melon slices.
  6. Note: If good melon is not available, substitute fresh berries or other fruits.
