Ingredients

6 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp clear honey

2 large, ripe peaches, halved and stoned

15g butter, melted

125g pack light mozzarella, drained and cut into 4

2 slices Chosen by you Prosciutto, cut into halves

Sprigs of basil, to garnish

Method

1
For the dressing, simmer the vinegar and honey in a pan for 3-4 minutes until thick and syrupy. Taste - if it's still a little vinegary, simmer for 1-2 minutes more.
2
Lay the peach halves face down on a baking sheet. Brush with butter and cook under a preheated grill for 3-4 minutes. Turn over, brush with butter and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
3
Put 2 peach halves on each plate. Top each half with one slice of mozzarella and half a slice of prosciutto, then sprinkle on ground black pepper. Drizzle with the warm dressing and garnish with the basil sprigs.
