Ingredients

• 1 package of cherry or grape tomatoes (I love the Sunset Sugar Bombs brand)

• 1 package of fresh mozzarella pearls

• 2 packages of fresh basil

• 2 Tbsp balsamic reduction (optional-see notes)

• Toothpicks for assembly

Directions

1. Wash and dry the basil and tomatoes.

2. De-stem the basil.

3. Add the mozzarella pearl, basil, tomato, and another pearl to the toothpick and repeat until one of your ingredients runs out.

4. Arrange on a serving plate.

5. Optional: drizzle the balsamic reduction over the caprese skewers for a fun presentation. it stand out.

Notes:

• Balsamic reduction can be purchased at the grocery store, however, many of these store-bought options are made with added sugar, which is completely unnecessary.

• To make it at home, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a saucepan then reduce. Simmer until the vinegar thickens, about 10 minutes. Allow the balsamic reduction to cool prior to drizzling on the skewers.
