2 apricots or nectarines, cut in 1/2 and pitted
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, look for a little age and good quality
1 pint French vanilla ice cream

Tips for Roasting Stone Fruit:

  • Choose ripe, firm fruit: Overripe fruit will become mushy when roasted, so it's important to start with fruit that is just ripe.
  • Cut the fruit into uniform pieces: This will help the fruit cook evenly.
  • Toss the fruit with a little oil, sugar, and spices: This will help the fruit caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Roast the fruit at a high temperature: This will help the fruit caramelize and develop a crispy exterior.
  • Keep an eye on the fruit while it's roasting: Fruit can burn easily, so it's important to watch it closely and remove it from the oven as soon as it's done.

Conclusion:

Roasted stone fruit is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own, as a side dish, or as a dessert. It's a great way to use up fresh fruit, and it's a perfect dish for summer gatherings.
