1 cup balsamic vinegar

8 oz mini mozzarella balls if they are in water, drain and pat dry before adding to your skewers

1 pint Grape or cherry tomatoes

Fresh basil leaves

You will also need 16 4” bamboo skewers

Prepare your balsamic reduction first by pouring 1 cup of balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over medium low heat.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until vinegar has reduced to about half a cup (this will take about 15 minutes or so).

Allow balsamic reduction to cool before drizzling over your Caprese skewers (it will thicken as it cools, also).

To prepare Caprese skewers, spear the top of one tomato and slide it up 1” from the top of the skewer.
