Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
5 large nectarines (about 1 1/2 pounds), or peaches (which must be skinned)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons muscovado or dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Set a strainer over a bowl and cut the nectarines into the strainer, so their juice collects in the bowl.
  • 2. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When it is hot but not smoking, add the nectarines and sauté them until they sizzle and their juices reduce and begin to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the sugar over them and sauté until the juices further thicken and the sugar caramelizes slightly, about 1 minute. You may want to increase the heat under the pan to medium-high. Add the lemon juice and sauté until the juices thicken, then add any nectarine juice that collected in the bowl, and shake the pan so that all is well blended. Let the nectarines cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the juices are very thick, which will take a minute or so. The total cooking time will be about 6 minutes.
  • 3. Transfer the nectarines to 4 warmed dessert plates, or to a warmed serving dish, let sit for about 4 minutes so they are not blistering hot when served.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these nectarines were a disaster. I'll never make this recipe again.

This recipe is a waste of time. The nectarines didn't caramelize and they were just mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my nectarines didn't caramelize. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These nectarines are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of nectarines, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The caramelized sugar really brings out the flavor of the fruit.

These nectarines are so easy to make, and they're a great way to use up ripe nectarines.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it always turns out perfectly. The nectarines are always caramelized to perfection.

These caramelized nectarines are absolutely delicious! They're the perfect summer dessert, and they're so easy to make. I love that they can be served warm or cold.
