Ingredients:

  • 1 lb firm-ripe plums, halved and pitted
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • pinch of cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Pat the plum halves completely dry with a paper towel and lightly brush the cut side of each plum with neutral oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, melted butter, and salt until the mixture is emulsified.
  3. Place the plums cut-side down on a medium-high grill (approx. 400°F / 200°C) for 3–4 minutes until they develop deep grill marks and caramelize.
  4. Flip the plums skin-side down and generously coat the charred face with the honey-balsamic glaze using a pastry brush. Grill for another 2–3 minutes until the glaze is bubbling and tacky.
