BLUEBERRY AND NECTARINE COBBLER
When adding juicy summer fruit (like blueberries) to pies and cobblers, you generally need something to help the fruit coalesce into a sauce. We love instant tapioca, as it thickens while fading into the background, letting the fruit shine.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- For the fruit: Halve the nectarines along their natural seam, but leave skins on. Cut each half into 3 wedges. Toss nectarines with blueberries, sugar, and tapioca and put into a buttered 9-inch round gratin or casserole dish. Dot the top of the fruit with the pieces of butter.
- For the cobbler top: Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Rub in 2 tablespoons of the butter with your fingertips until no visible pieces remain. Rub in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter just until it is in even, pea-size pieces. Whisk together the egg and cream and stir into the dry ingredients to make a shaggy, loose dough.
- Spoon large spoonfuls of dough on top of the fruit in clumps (it should look like rough, old-fashioned cobblestones, hence the name cobbler). Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the topping comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cobbler on a rack, about 20 minutes.
- Serve warm or room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
- Serving suggestions: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

NECTARINE AND BLUEBERRY GALETTE
The charm of a galette, a casual open-faced tart, is in its imperfections. It's O.K. if the fruit juices leak a little, and there is no fussy crust-crimping for those who find that part of pie-making frustrating. The often-overlooked nectarine is such a perfect summer fruit. It has all the honeyed sweetness of a peach, minus that fuzzy skin, plus a little hit of tartness, and it pairs beautifully with dark, sweet blueberries. The sugar here is given in a range: Use the smaller amount if your fruit is particularly sweet, the larger amount if it's tart.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees, and position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine sugar, lemon zest and vanilla in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the zest and seeds (or extract) into the sugar. Add the flour and salt and stir to combine. Add the nectarines, blueberries and lemon juice, but don't stir quite yet.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch round just under 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Stir the filling to combine, then pile all the fruit in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Press the fruit gently to make sure there are no large open pockets. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the fruit and press gently to seal the folds.
- Put the whole baking sheet into the freezer, and chill the formed galette until the dough is very firm, about 15 minutes. Brush dough with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar and salt. Bake until deep golden brown and the juices are bubbling, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm nectarines and blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the nectarines and blueberries in a grill pan over medium heat.
- Be careful not to overcook the fruit, as it should still have a slight bite to it.
- Serve the grilled nectarines and blueberries immediately with your favorite toppings, such as yogurt, ice cream, or honey.
- You can also use this recipe to make a delicious grilled fruit salad. Simply add other fruits, such as peaches, pineapple, or watermelon, to the grill.
Conclusion:
Grilled nectarines and blueberries are a simple and delicious summer dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The fruit is naturally sweet and juicy, and the grilling process intensifies the flavor and adds a smoky touch. This recipe is also a great way to use up any leftover fruit that you have on hand.
