Servings: 5
5 pieces prosciutto, halved lengthwise (optional)
10 California Prunes
10 basil leaves
10 cherry-size mozzarella balls
If using prosciutto, fold each half in half lengthwise so width of prune is wider than width of prosciutto. Starting at one end of prosciutto, wrap one prune; repeat with remaining prosciutto. Set aside.
Wrap one basil leaf around each mozzarella ball then thread onto skewer. Thread one prune or prosciutto-wrapped prune onto each skewer.
