  4. Repeat this process until the skewer is filled, alternating the ingredients for a beautiful presentation.
  5. Carefully arrange the assembled skewers on a serving plate or platter.
  6. Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over the skewers just before serving.
  7. If not serving right away, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat.
