Tomato, Watermelon and Basil Skewers

• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 (4 to 5 lb.) watermelon cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
• 32 basil leaves, torn to approx. same size
• 16 cherry tomatoes, halved (or chopped tomato)
• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• kosher salt, to taste
• Skewers

Combine the balsamic vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.  Bring to a simmer, stirrring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved.  Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Arrange the skewers starting with the watermelon squares, then a basil leaf and finally a tomato half.  Repeat. Arrange skewers on a plate and drizzle with the reserved balsamic syrup and olive oil.  Sprinkle with salt. Serve.
