The nectarines didn't come out as caramelized as I would have liked. I think I'll try brushing them with melted butter before baking them next time.

These baked nectarines were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll try using a different variety of nectarines next time.

These baked nectarines were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of honey next time.

These baked nectarines are a great way to use up ripe summer fruit. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional desserts, since they're naturally sweetened with honey.
