Notes

Substitutions and Additions:
  • FRUIT-The most obvious substitution in this recipe is to use peaches instead of nectarines. I have grilled both and both are delicious. My choice is solely based on which fruit looks the freshest when I am shopping. I have also grilled plums and they are equally delicious!
  • TOPPINGS- We really love goat cheese, roasted pistachios and honey on our grilled nectarines. But your can use mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, whipped cream or top them with a big scoop of ice cream and a pinch of cinnamon. Again, it depends on what your family prefers. Be sure to comm
