Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
