SPICED NECTARINE SAUCE
Green cardamom pods and fresh ginger root enliven this fruit sauce, made with fresh nectarines. The spices and the cooking impart a tangy, tart flavor to the nectarines. It's great over ice cream or stirred into cooked multi-grain hot cereal and eaten with a splash of cream or soy milk. I created this last summer when I needed to use up some huge ripe nectarines that I purchased at the farmer's market. Substitute about a half a teaspoon of ground cardamom if you don't have the whole green pods.

Steps:
- If you'd rather, peel the nectarines; I like having the peel in there.
- Melt butter in small saucepan over medium high heat.
- Dissolve brown sugar in the melted butter, then add the cubed nectarines and the rest of the spices.
- When mixture starts to simmer, turn heat down to low.
- Simmer in order to achieve desired consistency and allow flavors to blend. You will want this to be chunky, with some textural variation--chunks of fruit in a thick, medium-brown sauce. This may take 5-10 minutes. Remove pods before serving (? I'm actually not sure if you can eat them).
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, or cool and refrigerate.
- My note: this was excellent with hot multigrain cereal! I cooked the cereal first and then added the sauce, about 1:1, stirred it in and warmed it up along with the cereal for a few minutes on low/simmer. Yummy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in the final dish. Use the best rice you can find, and make sure the nectarines are ripe and juicy.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. The spices in this recipe can be adjusted to taste. If you like a more mild flavor, you can use less cumin or cinnamon. If you like a more spicy dish, you can add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Make sure the rice is cooked through before adding the nectarines. Otherwise, the nectarines will release too much water and the rice will become mushy.
- Serve the rice immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pot. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the rice may become a little dry.
Conclusion:
Spiced rice with nectarines is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of sweet nectarines and savory spices creates a unique and unforgettable flavor that will tantalize your taste buds. Give this recipe a try and you'll be sure to impress your friends and family.
