I made this for guests last weekend and it was wonderful! The baste was so delicious, and the vinaigrette, since it was primarily made from the baste ingredients, added so much flavor to this. I added some crumbled goat cheese to my salad (DH used the cubed sharp provolone option) and that really made it something special.
Now, because I used what I had on hand, I pureed nectarines until smooth, added an equal amount of water, and made the bast from that and a can of peach nectar (I doubled the recipe). I had apricot jam, so I used that instead of peach. So it was "stone fruit" baste and vinaigrette! I used nectarines on the skewers instead of peaches.
We set the table outside, on the patio down by the river, and it was an absolutely perfect evening-- excellent food, wonderful friends, and seranaded by tree frogs!
