Ingredients
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or basil
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into rings
- 1 ripe mango, cut lengthwise into slices
- Metal skewers or wooden skewers
Method
Prepare grill for cooking.
In a small saucepan over high heat, boil vinegar for 5 minutes to reduce by half; transfer to a bowl.
Add butter, honey, mint or basil and salt and whisk until smooth and blended; set glaze aside.
Thread pineapple and mango onto skewers and lightly brush with balsamic glaze.
When fire is medium hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds), grill fruit in batches, turning once, until browned and slightly softened, about 5 minutes total.
Serve drizzled with any remaining balsamic glaze.
