- 16 cherry or grape tomatoes
- 8 ounces of mini mozzarella balls
- 16 basil leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
- pesto or balsamic reduction
- For balsamic reduction
- 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbs honey
If needed, cut the mozzarella and tomatoes into manageable bite sized pieces.
Use a toothpick to skewer a tomato, folded basil leaf, and mozzarella. Repeat until you use all your supplies.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve with pesto or balsamic reduction.
To make balsamic reduction (optional):
Add balsamic vinegar and honey to a small saucepan set over low to medium low heat.
Cook until the mix comes to a simmer, stirring frequently.
After a few minutes, the balsamic will start to thicken. Once it coats the back of a spoon, it is ready.
Remove from heat and use a spoon to drizzle the reduction over the caprese skewers.
