Nectarine Madness

I bought a flat of nectarines at Costco and needed to use them. Plus I LOVE nectarines. They remind me of being a kid. My grandpa & grandma would serve them with ice cream for dessert.

Not sure if I said this in my last post but I’m attempting to have a different fancy toast every Thursday. We will see how long it lasts…

My blog is almost a year old! Everyone says it but it’s crazy how time flies. I started the blog to pass the time until my previous job called me back… Thinking that was going to be in July. Well that didn’t happen so I kept going and now I’m attempting to do this full time. It’s fucking scary, but I really do love it. It’s difficult, rewarding, tiring and fun! No idea what I’ll come up with as a post for my year, but it will be something good!

Ok, first up- Nectarine compote (above)

3 nectarines chopped

1 tablespoon of sugar

1/2 tablespoon of honey

1/2 vanilla bean

1 tablespoon butter

Get a pot and brown tablespoon of butter takes about 5-9 minutes

add chopped nectarine, sugar, honey, vanilla bean and cook for about 10 minutes until broken down.

Store sealed in the refrigerator for up to a week!

Nectarine bark

Get a sheet pan and line with parchment paper

Spread your favorite Greek yogurt into a thin layer on the parchment paper

Take nectarine compote and dollop onto yogurt and swirl around. I dolloped 7 teaspoons and used a toothpick to swirl around and make fun designs.

Put in freezer for 3 hours

Once hard break into pieces and enjoy!

It melts pretty quickly so eat it fast!
