Recipe by Ian Knauer Step aside pancakes; butter and maple syrup is a combination worthy of the ripest grilled summer fruits. Can't find apricots? Try this recipe with peaches or plums for a fantastic ice cream topping.

Instructions

  1. Prepare a grill for medium, direct heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal.

  2. Cook maple syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in a small skillet over low heat, whisking occasionally, until butter is melted.

  3. Grill apricots cut side down, brushing with syrup mixture as they cook, until lightly charred and tender, 8 –10 minutes. Transfer to a platter cut side up, and brush with additional syrup mixture. Let apricots cool to room temperature, then serve with ice cream.

Why this Grilled Maple-Butter Apricots with Vanilla Ice Cream works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Grilled Maple-Butter Apricots with Vanilla Ice Cream works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
