Ingredients:

  • 24 cherry tomatoes (about 2 pints or 300 g)
  • 24 fresh basil leaves
  • 8 oz (225 g) fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Heat over medium-high, stirring until it starts to simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. On each skewer, thread a cherry tomato, a basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball in that order. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
  3. Arrange skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze over the skewers and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
