I can’t believe it took 26 years for me to make candied prosciutto. It’s so easy and such a great treat. It can be added to cheese boards, topped on top of a donut, or even eaten plain or with a piece of dark chocolate.
The only tricky part is making sure the slices don’t stay in the oven too long because they can easily burn and then get stuck to the pan.
