(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Appetizers

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. light brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground fennel seeds
  • 6 round pancetta slices
  • 1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 medium peaches
  • 6 fresh mozzarella slices
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Combine sugar and fennel seeds in a bowl. Place pancetta in a single layer on prepared baking sheet; rub spice mixture evenly on each side. Bake at 300 for 25 minutes or until crisp.

  3. Combine vinegar, honey and juice in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high. Cook, stirring often, 6-8 minutes or until mixture thickens and reduces by half.

  4. Cut each peach in half horizontally; discard pits. Cut peach halves in half horizontally. (You should have 4 round, flat slices from each peach.)

  5. To assemble, place 6 peach slices on a serving platter. Layer each with 1 mozzarella slice, 1 additional peach slice, and 1 pancetta slice. Drizzle vinegar mixture evenly over stacks. Sprinkle with basil.
