Makes 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

            1-1/2 pounds small plums or pluots*, cut into thick wedges, pits removed
            1/3 cup packed brown sugar
            1/2 cup orange juice

DIRECTIONS

Heat grill to medium-high heat. Mix plums, sugar, orange juice, garam masala, and cayenne in large skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes or just until tender and syrupy.

Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. Place on grill, skin-side down. Grill 20 to 25 minutes, turning once or twice, until no longer pink near bone and golden brown.

Serve chicken with plum compote, garnished with fresh mint.

*Sweet little fruits that are a cross between plums and apricots.
