- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- 1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Notes
For a sweeter version, use dried cherries. To toast almonds, spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes until golden.
