Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• cherry or grape tomatoes
• mini mozzarella cheese balls (could use regular sized ball cut into bite-sized pieces)
• fresh basil leaves, cut in half if large
• salt & pepper
• toothpicks

Directions

• Bring balsamic vinegar up to a boil in a saucepan, then lower heat to medium and simmer until its the consistency of very thin maple syrup, about 10 minutes. Pour into a bowl and let cool. Cut tomatoes in half. Thread a mini mozzarella cheese ball, basil leaf (fold in half if large) and a tomato half onto a tooth pick. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, then drizzle cooled balsamic reduction on top.
