1

Assembly of ingredients
2

In a pan over medium high heat, bring balsamic vinegar and honey to a boil then lower to a simmer for about 12-15 min, stirring occasionally. Reduce to about 1/3 cup where the balsamic vinager sauce will coat the surface of a spoon lightly. (Try not to inhale the acidic fumes while it's simmering, it's rather sharp on the nostrils) Let it cool a little.
3

While balsamic vinegar is being simmered, assemble the salad. Chop tomato and mozzarella ball thickly, about 1cm. Arrange tomato slices, mozzarella and basil leaves in an alternate pattern.
4

Sprinkle salt and pepper liberally.
5

Drizzle olive oil and reduced balsamic vinegar.
6

There will be leftover sauce for you to use, about 1/4 cup. You can multiply 1 ball per tomato to increase in quantity.
