Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 dozen fresh mozzarella balls about the size of cherries, (drained (see notes))
  • 2 medium-large tangerines, (peeled and then cut into 2 dozen bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 dozen mint leaves, (washed and dried)
  • about 1 teaspoon blackberry jam
  • cayenne pepper
  • you will also need 1 dozen small skewers or cocktail toothpicks

Instruction

  • Gently slide a piece of tangerine on one of the skewers or toothpicks. (The best way to prepare the tangerine is to peel it like THIS, and then cut it into pieces.)
  • Carefully add a mint leaf, followed by the mozzarella and a second mint leaf. Slide one more piece of tangerine on after the mint.
  • Use a small spoon, or your finger to add a dab of the jam on one side of each piece of mozzarella.
  • Sprinkle the jam with a dusting of cayenne pepper and serve.
