Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole nectarines
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your barbecue or grill to medium heat.
Wash the nectarines thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice each nectarine in half and remove the pit.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to create the glaze. Set aside.
Brush the cut sides of the nectarines with a light layer of the prepared glaze.
Place the nectarines cut-side down onto the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the nectarines begin to soften slightly.
Flip the nectarines and brush the skin side with the glaze. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender but still holding their shape.
Remove the nectarines from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
Enjoy your smoky, sweet, and delicious Barbecued Nectarines!
