Several hours or day before serving, prepare Balsamic Viniagrette: In pint jar with tight-fitting lid, shake all ingredients.

Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray.

On cutting board, finely chop 2 plum halves.

In bowl, mix chopped plum, the onion, vinegar, honey, cumin, salt, celery seeds, and pepper.

Lift skin on breasts of hens and spread ¼ of plum mixture under each.

Arrange hens, breast-side down, on grill rack 6 inches above heat and grill until golden brown--about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, thread remaining 8 plum halves on several thin metal or soaked bamboo skewers.

Brush plums with some of Balsamic Vinaigrette and grill 3 minutes on each side.

Pour remaining Vinaigrette into cruet.
