Yield Makes 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons dried chamomile flowers or 1/4 cup fresh organic chamomile flowers or 2 chamomile tea bags
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
3 1/2 pounds nectarines (about 8 nectarines), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Stir together sugar and 1 1/2 cups water in a large saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved.
  • Tie a small piece of cheesecloth around the chamomile to form a pouch. Add chamomile pouch, the vanilla bean, and nectarines to the saucepan. Reduce heat to low. Cook until nectarines are tender, about 7 minutes. Discard chamomile pouch and the vanilla bean. Let mixture cool completely. Poached nectarines can be refrigerated in their juice in an airtight container, up to 1 day.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The nectarines are always perfectly poached and the chamomile syrup is delicious. I like to serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Easy to make and so delicious! I used fresh nectarines from my garden and they were perfect. The poaching liquid is simple but flavorful, and the nectarines came out tender and juicy.

These poached nectarines are a delightful treat! The chamomile adds a subtle floral note that pairs perfectly with the sweet nectarines. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios, and they were a hit with my fa
