We’re amid the nectarine season; an abundance of fruit is waiting for us at the stands, begging us to do something with it.
It’s the perfect time to cut them into cubes, freeze them, make smoothies, jams, Nectarine And Almond Pie, or even puff pastry pockets filled with nectarines.
Another refreshing way to enjoy the fragrant nectarines is to make a flan that goes well with the hot and humid weather: cook nectarines in syrup, strain, and process with coconut milk; cook the syrup with agar powder, combine and pour into dessert glasses; let cool, garnish with seasonal fruits and a mint leaf and enjoy.
