Nectarine, Prosciutto, and Arugula Bundles

(from shawn’s recipe box)

Your guests will be amazed to find out how tasty these simple snacks are. Peaches or plums also work well in place of the nectarines. You can assemble the bundles up to an hour in advance. Just cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
