Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe plums
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 4 sprigs fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the plums and cut them in half, removing the pits.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir continuously for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes slightly thick and syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Brush the cut sides of the plums with the prepared balsamic glaze using a pastry brush.
Place the plums cut-side down on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes, until grill marks appear. Flip the plums and brush the skin side with more glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the plums are tender but still hold their shape.
Remove the grilled plums from the grill and drizzle them with the remaining balsamic glaze.
On serving plates, place two grilled plum halves and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Garnish with a fresh mint sprig on top (optional) and serve immediately.
