• Peel the cantaloupe, de-seed it and cut into 6 wedges.
• Peel the pineapple and cut it into 6 slices 3/4" thick.
• Do not core the pineapple as it will make it easier to handle on the grill.
• Brush both sides of the ham with the basting sauce and put on a medium hot grill (about 6" above the coals).
• Cook for 16-20 minutes, turning and basting frequently.
• About 8 minutes before the ham is done, baste the fruit with the sauce and place it on the grill.
• Basting often, cook the fruit until it's well glazed and lightly brown on all sides.
• To serve, place the ham and fruit on a platter and cut thin slices across the grain of the ham.
