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.

I'm not sure why, but my skewers didn't turn out as well as the ones in the picture. Maybe I did something wrong.

I'm not a fan of melon, so I wasn't sure if I would like these skewers. But I was pleasantly surprised! The melon was actually really good with the olives and honey.

The skewers were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The melon was too soft and the olives were too salty.

I found the melon to be a bit bland. Maybe I should have used a different type of melon.

These skewers are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.
