Grilled Nectarines With Honey-Balsamic Glaze

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.

Type: Fruit
Courses: Dessert
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup 118mlHoney - plus
2 tablespoons 30mlHoney
1/4 cup 59mlBalsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlVanilla extract
1   Container crème fraîche - (8 oz)
6   Firm but ripe nectarines - halved, pitted

Recipe Instructions

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.
