TIPS

  • Homemade Balsamic Glaze: To make your own glaze, simmer 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar with 1 tbsp honey or sugar in a small saucepan over low heat until reduced and thickened.
  • Customization: Add a piece of prosciutto or a small slice of avocado to the skewers for extra flavor.
  • Storage: If preparing ahead, assemble the skewers and store them in the fridge for up to 4 hours, then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze just before serving.
