Fresh Mozzarella with Glazed Plums

Fresh Mozzarella with Glazed Plums
(made this for a weekend dinner party...really good, and it makes you look like a total professional!)















2 balls of fresh mozzarella, sliced into half moons
4 large plums, pitted, and sliced into thin-ish wedges
1 1/2 cups of good balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup of fresh mint, chopped
1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
salt and pepper

Place the balsamic vinegar in a small pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and simmer until it's reduced by three quarters! Remove from heat and toss in the plum slices. Let them sit in the syrup until cool.

On a large platter layer the plums and the mozzarella, drizzle with the remaining sauce. Season with salt and pepper...sprinkle with the mint and pine nuts. Serve with toasted crostini!
