If you've never tried, go fire up your grill!!!
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients:
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 8-ounce container crème fraîche --
-- or substitute 1/2 sour cream, 1/2 whipped cream, with a
bit of honey mixed in
6 firm but ripe nectarines, halved, pitted
Instructions:
When using an outdoor grill, add a handful of fresh charcoal
to the embers after serving the main course; when it's time
to cook the nectarines, the fire should be at the right
temperature. Remember to brush the grill clean before adding
the fruit. Sour cream is a good substitute for the crème
fraîche.
Whisk 1/2 cup honey, vinegar, and vanilla in small bowl.
Whisk crème fraîche and remaining 2 tablespoons honey in
medium bowl to blend. (Glaze and crème fraîche mixture can
be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately. Refrigerate crème
fraîche mixture. Rewhisk both before using.)
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush nectarines
generously with half of glaze. Grill until heated through,
turning occasionally, about 4 minutes. Arrange 2 nectarine
halves, cut side up, on each plate. Drizzle with remaining
glaze. Spoon some crème fraîche mixture into center of each
nectarine half and serve.
