Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Peaches: Wash two ripe peaches and slice them into wedges. Place the peach slices along with a few sprigs of fresh basil into a large, clean jar with a lid.
  2. Make the Pickling Liquid: In a medium saucepan, combine equal parts white balsamic vinegar and white vinegar with kosher salt and honey. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until salt and honey dissolve completely (3-5 minutes).
  3. Pickle the Peaches: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 cup of cold water. Pour the pickling liquid over the peach slices, ensuring they're fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  4. Assemble the Skewers: After pickling, remove the slices from the jar. Wrap a peach slice with prosciutto, slide it onto a skewer with a mozzarella pearl and basil leaf. Repeat until well-stocked.
  5. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme until well combined.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle the dressing over the assembled skewers right before serving to enhance flavors.
