Caprese Skewers

Simple and springy. Just the way I like it. 
 Sorry for the terrible photo, I didn't finish it in time for natural light when I made it for a get together.

This doesn't really need a recipe. The only thing that requires any forethought is making the balsamic glaze, or whatever you want to call it. And the only thing required for that is 1. buy cheap balsamic vinegar and 2. pour it in a pot and simmer until it is reduced by half, or starting to look syrupy. Your kitchen will smell seriously like balsamic vinegar. But it will be worth it.

Then just skewer some combination of grape tomatoes, basil leaves, and fresh mozzarella. Any leftover balsamic not used for dipping can be used to make thicker, sweeter salad dressings than you get with normal balsamic. 

Hope your weekend looks more exciting than my homework!
