Phase 1 and 3 | Serves 6 |
Prep time: 10 minutes | Total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

6 pieces stone fruit (apricots, plums or peaches), cut around the pit and separated in halves
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 small, peeled chunk ginger root, 1/2-inch
1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
Liquid stevia (20 to 25 drops, or to taste)

Directions

1. Heat a grill or grill pan to high.
   
   
2. Grill the fruits cut side down for about 3 to 5 minutes, until warmed through and evenly marked.
   
   
3. Heat the remaining ingredients in a small pot over medium-high heat (or on the grill next to the fruit).
   
   
4. When the sauce reduces, it will become syrup-like in no time — less than a minute. If you burn food often or get distracted easily, cook it over lower heat. Otherwise, let it rip.
   
   
5. When the balsamic sauce coats the back of a spoon and reduces by half, remove the pan from the heat and discard the ginger chunk.
   
   
6. Sweeten with stevia to taste.
   
   
7. Arrange the fruits on a platter and drizzle liberally with the glaze.
