Looking to elevate your next gathering AL Fresco? These Peach & Prosciutto Appetizer Skewers are your new go-to bite. Think creamy mozzarella, aromatic basil, salty prosciutto, and tangy pickled peaches—all threaded into scoring-sized skewers. They’re bursting with a medley of flavors and textures that disappear as quickly as you set them out.

Ingredients

For the Pickled Peaches:
– 1 cup balsamic vinegar
– 1 cup white vinegar
– 1 cup water
– 2 tbsp honey
– 2 tsp kosher salt
– Fresh peaches, sliced

For the Skewers:
– 8 oz mozzarella pearls
– 4 oz prosciutto slices
– 12 basil leaves
– 12 cocktail skewers
– Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

1. Pickling the Peaches:
   In a medium saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, white vinegar, honey, and kosher salt. Heat over medium stirring until salt and honey dissolve. Add water and stir. Pour this mixture over peach slices—ensuring they’re fully submerged—and let them sit for about 30 minutes.
2. Assemble the Skewers:
   Remove peaches from the pickling liquid. Wrap each slice in prosciutto, then thread onto skewers in order: prosciutto-wrapped peach → mozzarella pearl → basil leaf. Repeat. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
3. Serve:
   Present immediately—these skewers are best enjoyed right away, combining sweet, savory, tangy, and creamy in one delicious bite.
