There is just something about a peach that says summertime!  Sweet and juicy, warm from the tree, it just doesn’t get much better than a fresh peach when the temps go up here in the South.  And these pretty little Peach Skewers with ham, mozzarella, basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze are one of the easiest and most refreshing ways to serve peaches this summer.  A perfect peachy bite that’s full of unexpected flavor, they’ll be gobbled up as quickly as you put them out!

  • thinly sliced ham

These little peachy numbers are so easy to make but look oh-so-fancy, which, if you’ve been around here long, you’ll know is my absolute favorite!  A tray full of these just begs to be eaten.  And everyone feels oh-so-special doing it!

The mild flavor of the mozzarella, the crisp of the basil, and salty smokiness of the ham all play off of that summer sweet peach like a cicada symphony.

These peach skewers offer the perfect opportunity for some easy hospitality this summer or maybe just a quiet night on the patio.  Whatever the occasion, whip up a little special and enjoy!

Instructions

  • In a small sauce pan over medium heat, heat balsamic vinegar and sugar until it comes to a low boil.  Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.  The mixture should reduce by about half and become slightly thicker.  Remove from heat and let cool.
  • While the balsamic glaze is reducing, slice peaches into thin slices (do not peel)  and set aside.  Cut ham slices into long strips about 1 inch wide.  Set aside.
  • To assemble, gently skewer one peach slice through the bottom, or peel side.  Follow with a basil leaf, a folded ham strip, and finish with mozzarella.  Lightly sprinkle with black pepper.
  • Drizzle with cooled balsamic glaze.  Serve room temperature or chilled.

Notes

Prosciutto can be substituted for the ham.
