Grilled Apricots With Bocconcini, Prosciutto & Basil

Apricots are in season and there's so much more you can do with this lovely fruit than pies or preserves. Grilled apricots with salty prosciutto, fresh cheese, and herbs is a perfect mid-summer appetizer or salad.

INGREDIENTS

6 just ripe apricots, halved6 balls of bocconcini6 fresh basil leaves6 slices of prosciuttoolive oilsea salt & fresh cracked pepperhoney (optional)

METHOD

Heat the grill. Halve apricots and brush generously with olive oil.Grill the apricots on medium high heat for a couple of minutes each side - or enough to slightly char each side. You don't want the fruit to get too soft.Remove apricots from grill and top each one with bocconcini, a rolled or chopped slice of prosciutto, and a basil leaf. Top with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with crusty bread or on a plate of greens. Note: If your apricots are too tart, drizzle a bit of honey overtop for a hit of sweetness.
