1
Prepare the Balsamic Reduction
In a small saucepan, pour the balsamic vinegar. Heat over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the vinegar has thickened and reduced by half. Remove from heat and let it cool.
2
Prepare the Skewers
While the balsamic reduction is cooling, rinse the grape tomatoes and pat them dry. Take the fresh mozzarella balls and drain any excess liquid. Set both aside.
3
Assemble the Skewers
Take a skewer and thread a grape tomato, followed by a basil leaf, and then a mozzarella ball. Repeat this process until the skewer is filled, leaving a little space at each end for easy handling. You can fit about 3-4 sets per skewer.
4
Season the Skewers
Once all the skewers are assembled, drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle salt and black pepper over them to taste.

5
Serve
Arrange the assembled skewers on a platter and drizzle the cooled balsamic reduction over them just before serving. Enjoy your Mozzarella Caprese Skewers as a refreshing appetizer!
