1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. catsup
2 tbsp. cider vinegar
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
a few drops hot pepper sauce
2 avocados
fresh orange and pink grapefruit slices (optional)
fresh cilantro or other herbs (optional)

Combine butter, honey, catsup, vinegar, Worcestershire and pepper sauce in small saucepan and heat, stirring until smooth. Keep warm. Halve, seed and skin avocado.

Place cut-side down on board and slice crosswise into crescents. Overlap slices on appetizer plates. Add orange and grapefruit slices to plates, if desired. Drizzle 2 tbsp. warmed sauce over each plate, allowing it to pool underneath avocado.

Add a sprig of cilantro or fresh herb to each plate if desired.

Makes 6 servings.
