Balsamic Glazed Heirloom Tomatoes + Peaches

Serves 4

Ingredients

• ½ cup balsamic vinegar

• 1 large, ripe peach, washed and dried

• 2 small to medium-sized heirloom tomatoes (about ½ pound), washed and dried

• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 1 tablespoon roughly chopped chives for garnish, washed and dried

Preparation

1. Pour the vinegar into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Once it’s bubbling, turn the heat to low and continue to simmer until it’s reduced to about 2 tablespoons, and is quite thick. Remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool.

2. Place the peach with its stem pointing up and cut thin slices from each of the sides, until you've reached the pit. Set aside.

3. Holding the tomatoes gently on their sides, cut them into thin slices. (You want cross-section slices.)

4. Arrange the peach and tomato slices on a platter, alternating them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and garnish with the chives.
