Time 25m

Yield 24 mini skewers

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons freshly ground coarse black pepper
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 medium sprigs fresh rosemary
1/2 large or 1 small cantaloupe melon, seeded and peeled
One 7-ounce can jumbo pitted green olives, rinsed and drained
One 8-ounce container bite-size fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine), drained and patted dry
2 cups small fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • For the honey: Stir together the honey, 1/4 cup water, the pepper, thyme and rosemary in a small saute pan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. Strain the honey into a small bowl and set aside while you assemble the skewers.
  • For the skewers: Using a melon baller, scoop out 24 rounds from the peeled melon. Thread each skewer with a melon ball, basil leaf, mozzarella ball, another basil leaf and an olive. To serve, place the skewers on a platter and drizzle with the honey.

The olives were too salty for me.

I added some crumbled feta cheese to my skewers and they were even better.

The black pepper honey is the perfect finishing touch. It adds a subtle sweetness and a hint of spice.
