Balsamic Glazed Grilled Plums With Vanilla Ice Cream

• 4 ripe plums, halved and pitted (California red or dark skinned)
• extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pint vanilla ice cream or 1 pint soy ice cream

1. Preheat a grill pan to high heat. Drizzle fruit with oil to keep it from sticking and grill plums 3 minutes on each side.
2. While fruit is grilling, pour balsamic vinegar into a small pot and place pot over medium high heat. When vinegar heats to a boil, reduce vinegar by half, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Combine sugar, vanilla and lemon juice and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk in warm balsamic vinegar.
4. Place hot, grilled fruit on dessert plates. Top with a scoop of ice cream, if desired. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve.
