Grilled Stone Fruits with Balsamic and Black Pepper Syrup
- Oil, for rubbing grill or cooking spray to prepare surface of grill or grill pan
- 6 pieces stone fruit, plums, peaches or nectarines, apricots cut around the pit and separated in halves
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 small, peeled chunk ginger root, 1/2-inch
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- Heat grill or grill pan to high.
- Coat the surface of the grill with oil or spray to avoid sticking.
- Place fruits cut side down on grill and cook 3 to 4 minutes until warmed through and evenly marked.
- Heat the remaining ingredients (for the glaze) in small pot over medium-high heat or place on grill next to fruit.
- When the sauce reduces, it will become syrup-like in no time - less than a minute.
- If you burn food often or get distracted easily, cook it over lower heat.
- Otherwise, let it rip.
- When the balsamic sauce coats the back of a spoon and reduces by half, remove the pan from the heat and discard the ginger chunk.
- Arrange fruits on a platter and drizzle liberally with the glaze.
