Vin santo is an amber-hued Tuscan dessert wine. You can substitute Marsala, a fortified dessert wine from Sicily. Ingredients:
1 cup vin santo |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 (4-inch-long) orange rind strip |
1 (2-inch) cinnamon stick |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 cup cubed, peeled peaches (about 2 medium) |
1 cup cubed ripe plums (about 4) |
3/4 cup seedless green grapes |
3/4 cup pitted sweet cherries |
cooking spray |
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese |
2 tablespoons orange blossom honey |
1 teaspoon grated orange rind |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill.
2. To prepare glaze, combine first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes or until reduced to 1/3 cup. Remove and discard rind and cinnamon. Add butter, stirring with a whisk. Remove from heat. Keep warm.
3. To prepare skewers, thread peaches, plums, grapes, and cherries alternately onto each of 8 (8-inch) skewers; brush with 2 tablespoons glaze, reserving remaining glaze. Place skewers on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
4. To prepare cheese, combine ricotta and remaining ingredients, stirring well. Spoon about 3/4 tablespoon remaining glaze on each of 4 dessert plates; top with 2 skewers. Spoon about 1/4 cup cheese mixture on each plate.
