Categories     dessert

Time 11m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ripe plums, California red or dark skinned, halved and pitted
Extra-virgin olive oi , for drizzling
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pint vanilla bean ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan to high heat. Drizzle fruit with oil to keep it from sticking and grill plums 3 minutes on each side.
  • While fruit is grilling, pour balsamic vinegar into a small pot and place pot over medium high heat. When vinegar heats to a boil, reduce vinegar by half, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Combine sugar, vanilla and lemon juice and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk in warm balsamic vinegar.
  • Place hot, grilled fruit on dessert plates. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over fruit and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy plums. Look for plums that are slightly soft to the touch and have no blemishes.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the plums in a grill pan over medium heat.
  • To make the balsamic glaze, simmer the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan until it has reduced by half and thickened. This will take about 10 minutes.
  • To make the goat cheese filling, simply mix together the goat cheese, honey, and thyme in a small bowl.
  • When assembling the grilled plums, be sure to stuff them with the goat cheese filling before wrapping them in prosciutto.

Conclusion:

Balsamic goat cheese grilled plums are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. They're perfect for a summer party or potluck. The sweet and savory flavors of the plums, goat cheese, and balsamic glaze are sure to please everyone.
