Description

Ingredients

• 24 red or purple plums—halved and pitted, 4 plums thinly sliced
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 10 peaches, halved and pitted
• Mascarpone, for serving

Directions

• Light a grill. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced plums with 3/4 cup of the sugar and the water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over moderately low heat until the plums are very soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer the plums to a food processor and puree until smooth. Scrape the plum sauce into a bowl, stir in the lemon juice and set aside. In a small bowl, stir the melted butter with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. Grill the halved plums and peaches over moderate heat, turning once, until the fruit is tender, about 6 minutes. Baste the plums and peaches with the butter and continue to grill, turning once and basting again, until caramelized and slightly charred, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the grilled fruit to plates and spoon the plum sauce on top. Dollop the mascarpone alongside the fruit and serve.
