Grilled Stone Fruit Salsa

Ingredients:

4 to 5 fresh peaches or plums (or any mixture of additional stone fruits* such as nectarines, apricots or cherries, to yield 2 c. total chopped fruit, as directed below)
2 T. maple syrup
2 T. balsamic vinegar
1 jalapeno pepper, membranes and seeds removed, halved
Salt and pepper

Instructions:

Wash and halve fruit. Remove the pits; place fruit in bowl. Pour maple syrup and balsamic vinegar over fruit; toss gently to coat. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.

Reserving maple-balsamic mixture, place fruit and jalapeno pepper on grill, cut side down.**

Grill over direct medium-high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove fruit and pepper from grill and place back into reserved marinade; cube fruit into 1-inch cubes or quarters.

Peel dark skin from jalapeno pepper (if desired); finely chop. Toss with fruit and marinade to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with Tangy Maple-Marinated Pork Chops.

*Stone fruits are fruits that have a hard stone or pit in the center of the fruit.

** Use a metal grill “wok” or rack for cooking fruits and vegetables to keep them from falling through the grate, if desired. Coat lightly with cooking spray for easy clean up.
