Caprese Skewers

If you haven't made these before, you need to.  They're dead easy.  We're talking a very few fresh ingredients here.  They assemble quickly and they always disappear. We recently took these to a friends barbecue and they were gobbled up. 
I made a very simple balsamic glaze for these by simmering 1 cup balsamic vinegar with 1 bay leaf over medium heat for between 20-25 minutes.  It reduced to 1/2 cup.  It wasn't ridiculously thick but it was nice and syrupy.  It keeps well in the fridge.  If you don't want to make the glaze, use straight balsamic.  Reducing it just sweetens it a little.
This is the perfect summer app.  It's a healthy but super duper tasty alternative.  Oh, and did I mention it goes well with wine?  Just sayin'......
