Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)

6 fresh basil leaves, torn into smaller pieces

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

8 wooden or metal skewers

Instructions
 

Prep the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C). If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

    Assemble the Skewers: Take a skewer and thread a peach half onto it, with the cut side facing up. Follow this with a torn basil leaf, then a cherry tomato half, and a mozzarella ball. Repeat the pattern, alternating between ingredients, until the skewer is filled. Leave a small space at both ends for easier handling. Aim for around 2 to 3 peach halves, 2 to 3 tomato halves, and 1 mozzarella ball on each skewer.

      Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the assembled skewers with olive oil, ensuring that each ingredient is coated evenly. This step not only adds flavor but also helps in achieving a nice grill mark.

        Season: Generously sprinkle the skewers with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors of the ingredients.

          Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the peaches exhibit a beautiful caramelization and the mozzarella starts to soften. Be careful not to overcook; you want the peaches to retain a bit of their firmness.

            Add Balsamic Glaze: After removing the skewers from the grill, immediately drizzle balsamic glaze over them while they are still warm. For an extra burst of flavor, feel free to sprinkle a few additional torn basil leaves on top.

              Serve: Arrange the grilled peach caprese skewers on a serving platter. They can be enjoyed warm as a delightful appetizer or as a fresh side dish with your meal.
