Step 1
Start by threading a fresh basil leaf onto a skewer, followed by a juicy blackberry. Add another basil leaf, then a small mozzarella ball, and one more basil leaf before finishing with a dried apricot. Once all your skewers are assembled, give them a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze. These are great served right away as a fresh and tasty snack or appetizer.
