Instructions
- 1In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook for about 10 minutes, until the liquid thickens into a syrup and the volume is reduced by half. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- 2Wash and dry the tomatoes and basil leaves. If the basil leaves are very large, halve or fold them.
- 3In a small bowl, toss the mini mozzarella balls with olive oil, salt and pepper. This step ensures every bite is full of flavor.
- 4Onto each wooden skewer, thread the ingredients in the following order: a tomato, a folded basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball. Repeat as desired.
- 5Arrange the skewers on a serving plate and drizzle with the prepared balsamic reduction just before serving.
