Grilled Stone Fruit with Honey and Ricotta

1 tablespoon canola oil
2 plums, halved and pitted
2 peaches, halved and pitted
½ cup ricotta cheese
Honey, for drizzling

Heat a grill pan over high heat.  Brush pan lightly with canola oil.  Grill fruit, cut side down, until marked and softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.  Serve with a dollop of ricotta cheese and drizzle with honey.

Strawberry or Raspberry Vinaigrette

1 half pint fresh raspberries or strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar; add more to taste
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup raspberry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and pepper, to taste

Puree the berries and sugar in a food processor or blender.  Place berry puree in a small bowl and whisk in remaining ingredients.  Cover and chill until ready to use.

Peach Chutney

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium shallot, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound peaches (about 2 1/2 cups), diced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup dried cherries
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1. Melt the oil and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.  Add the shallot and garlic, season with the salt and pepper, and cook until tender, about 2 minutes.

2. Add the peaches, brown sugar, cherries, and mustard.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until peaches release their juices and turn into a thick chunky sauce, about 8 minutes.

3. Cool and serve at room temperature with chicken, pork, tofu or a cheese plate.
