GRILLED PEACHES

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
6 firm, ripe peaches, halved
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Combine first 4 ingredients in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil: reduce heat, and simmer 2 to 3 minutes.
Place peaches in a shallow dish.  Pour vinegar mixture over peaches, tossing gently to coat.  Let stand 10 minutes.  Remove peaches from vinegar mixture, reserving 2 tablespoons mixture.  Set aside remaining vinegar mixture.  
Whisk together reserved 2 tablespoons vinegar mixture and oil, blending well.  Set vinaigrette aside.
Place peach halves, cut sides down, on a lightly greased grill rack.  Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium heat (300-350 degrees) 5 minutes on each side or until firm and golden, basting with remaining vinegar mixture.  Serve peaches with vinaigrette.
