Grilled Nectarines with Honey-Balsamic Glaze

Name: Grilled Nectarines with Honey-Balsamic Glaze
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey; 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 8-ounce container crème fraîche; 6 firm but ripe nectarines, halved, pitted

When using an outdoor grill, add a handful of fresh charcoal to the embers after serving the main course; when it's time to cook the nectarines, the fire should be at the right temperature. Remember to brush the grill clean before adding the fruit. Sour cream is a good substitute for the crème fraîche.
