Servings: 24 skewers
Ingredients
- 2-3 fresh peaches
- 8-10 slices very thinly sliced ham
- 8 oz. fresh mozarella balls, ciliegine (cherry-sized)
- 24 fresh basil leaves
- ground black pepper
- ½ C balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- 24 cocktail skewers
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.
