Bacon-Wrapped Grilled Peaches

Yield: 16 servings (2 pieces per serving)

Ingredients

• 4 large peaches
• 16 oz. thick-cut bacon
• 32 fresh basil leaves
• Balsamic reduction

Directions

1. Cut each peach in half.  Remove the pits, and then cut each half into 4 pieces each.  You should now have 32 sections.
2. Cut your bacon in half.
3. Wrap each peach wedge in a basil leaf, followed by a half strip of bacon.  Pin in place with a toothpick.
4. Grill over low heat until the bacon is cooked, about 15-20 minutes.
5. Serve warm, drizzled with balsamic reduction.

If you've never made a balsamic reduction, just put some balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat and gently simmer for 8-12 minutes.  Remove from the heat and let cool.  It should be thickened but still retain the strong acidic flavor.
