I’ve been wanting to make this for ages and finally had the all the ingredients. This was perfect! It was the most delicious appetizer and so easy to put together. I would definitely make this again!!

I love this recipe. The mint and basil make it. I cut up dried figs and add it to the balsamic reduction when cooking and then leave the other figs off the platter. Just make sure you have enough burrata as not much in each “ball”. Love this combo of flavors

This was really good. I’m not sure it’s for everyone, but the flavors really blended well for me. I give this a 4 instead of a 5 only because it is quite an expensive appetizer to make. Well worth it for those special occasions, though!

Excellent easy Appetizer. Was a big hit at our cocktail party. The balsamic fig syrup was amazing, also used it on toasted semolina slice,with prosciutto and dulce Gorgonzola. The balsamic fig syrup can also be mixed with EVOO and is lovely on a arugula salad
