Author Notes: I fell in love with a tangerine gastrique over a salad with scallops; since oranges are year round I adapted it and put some of my favorite foods together. - loubaby

Makes 24

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
6 ounces goat cheese
12 pieces prosciutto, halved crosswise
24 pieces large fresh basil leaves
Fresh ground black pepper

Combine sugar, vinegar and orange juice; bring to boil in small saucepan. Reduce heat and cook until liquid is a syrup, about 15-20 minutes. Cool.
Spread a thin layer of goat cheese on each piece of proscuitto; drizzle with gastrique and top with basil leaves. Sprinkle with black pepper and roll up. Place seam side down.
