I live in Southern Arizona where rosemary is very hardy and
grows profusely,
it is a beautiful plant with a pleasing aroma possessing a pungent
taste.
The stems of rosemary make great skewers, simply strip off some of the
leaves,
thread different foods of your choice on them making cute little
appetizers that are quick and easy.
I made these with pepperoni, olive and Monterey Jack cheese,
you could use any combination you like, even adding small cubes of fruit
or sliced vegetables of your choice,
there are all kinds of different ideas and ways you can serve this hors d'oeuvre.
