Mango and Prosciutto Bites

Finish sweet-savory appetizers of mango and prosciutto with fresh basil and a Rosé Balsamic Reduction for a tempting starter.

Mango and Prosciutto Bites

MAKES 4 TO 6 SERVINGS

Ingredients
  

  • 12 thin slices prosciutto
  • 12 1¼-inch pieces fresh mango
  • 12 small fresh basil leaves
  • 12 4-inch wooden skewers
  • Rosé Balsamic Reduction recipe follows

Method
 

  1. Fold each prosciutto slice back and forth to form a ruffle. For each, place 1 folded prosciutto slice on 1 mango piece, trimming prosciutto from sides to even, if necessary. Top with 1 basil leaf. Secure with wooden skewers. Cover and chill up to 30 minutes. Drizzle with Rosé Balsamic Reduction just before serving.

Notes

KITCHEN TIP: To find a ripe mango, look for one that has turned mostly or entirely red, and give it a gentle squeeze—it should yield slightly to pressure.

Rosé Balsamic Reduction

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup rosé balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, and ginger. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat and cook until reduced to ⅓ cup, about 7 to 8 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Let cool until mixture thickens to a syrup consistency.
