Recipe: Caprese Skewers w/ Balsamic Drizzle

Ingredients:

• 1 cup balsamic vinegar

• cherry or grape tomatoes

• mini mozzarella cheese balls (could use regular sized ball, and cut into bite-sized pieces)

• fresh basil leaves, cut in half if large

• salt & pepper

• toothpicks

Directions:

1. Bring balsamic vinegar up to a boil in a saucepan, then lower heat to medium and simmer until it’s the consistency of very thin maple syrup, about 10 minutes. Pour into a bowl and let cool.

2. Cut tomatoes in half. Thread a mini mozzarella cheese ball, basil leaf (fold in half if large) and a tomato half onto a tooth pick. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, then drizzle cooled balsamic reduction on top.
