Grilled Nectarines

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.
