Ingredients

• 4 whole nectarines
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 4 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional)
• 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your barbecue or grill to medium heat.

Step 2

Wash the nectarines thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice each nectarine in half and remove the pit.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to create the glaze. Set aside.

Step 4

Brush the cut sides of the nectarines with a light layer of the prepared glaze.

Step 5

Place the nectarines cut-side down onto the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the nectarines begin to soften slightly.

Step 6

Flip the nectarines and brush the skin side with the glaze. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender but still holding their shape.

Step 7

Remove the nectarines from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.

Step 8

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.

Step 9

Enjoy your smoky, sweet, and delicious Barbecued Nectarines!
