Grilled Figs with Vanilla Balsamic Glaze

Course: Appetizer
Author: Suzie Bauer

Ingredients

  • 10-12 Fresh Figs cut in half lengthwise

Glaze

  • 1/2 tsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 tsp Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine the glaze ingredients and heat to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. The liquid should reduce by about half, and coat the back of a spoon.
  • Remove from heat to let cool. If not using right away, refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To prepare the figs, heat the BBQ to about 400 F, or use a grill pan on medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill to prevent the figs from sticking.
  • Place the figs cut side down on the grill and let cook for about 5 minutes. The figs should have some nice grill marks without burning.
  • When the figs are done, place cut side up on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the figs and serve.
