Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe plums
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- as desired optional toppings (e.g., whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, mint leaves)
Instructions
Start by washing the plums thoroughly. Cut each plum in half and remove the pits. Set the halved plums aside.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the honey, butter, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Heat the mixture gently over low heat or in the microwave until the butter is just melted. Stir to combine into a glaze.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Brush the cut sides of the plum halves generously with the honey glaze.
Place the plums cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until grill marks form and the plums begin to caramelize.
Brush the skin side of the plums with more glaze, then flip them over. Grill for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the plums from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and mint leaves for garnish, if desired.
