Strawberry Balsamic Brochettes

Healthy Fact of the Day

Strawberries are packed with antioxidants, particularly vitamin C. Just one serving (about 8 strawberries) provides more vitamin C than an orange!

Ingredients

 

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella pearls
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup high-quality balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Wooden skewers (about 6 inches long)

 

For the Balsamic Reduction:

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey

 

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tbsp honey. Simmer over low heat until reduced by half and syrupy, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp honey, and olive oil.

  3. Thread strawberries and mozzarella pearls onto skewers, alternating between the two. Add a basil leaf every few pieces.

  4. Arrange the skewers on a serving platter.

  5. Drizzle the balsamic mixture over the skewers.

  6. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.

  7. Chill the brochettes for about 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  8. Just before serving, drizzle with the cooled balsamic reduction.

 

Indulge in these Strawberry Balsamic Brochettes and let the explosion of sweet berries, creamy mozzarella, and tangy balsamic transport you to a sun-drenched Italian vineyard! Each bite is a perfect balance of flavors that captures the essence of summer on a skewer. It’s not just an appetizer; it’s a little edible work of art that’s sure to impress at your next gathering!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
