Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 ripe apricots, halved lengthwise and pitted

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium, direct heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal.
  • Cook maple syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in a small skillet over low heat, whisking occasionally, until butter is melted.
