Grilled Nectarines With Blueberries Recipes

EASY GRILLED NECTARINES

Steps:

• Brush each nectarine half with 1/4 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar.
• Preheat the grill on medium heat. Place nectarines into an aluminum grill dish or directly onto the grill. Grill until lightly browned, turning occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes.

BLUEBERRY NECTARINE CRISP

Steps:

• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• In a large bowl, combine the nectarines and blueberries. Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt and orange juice and mix gently. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• For the topping: In a large bowl, add the flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt and mix to combine. Cut 1 1/2 sticks of the butter into cubes, then cut the butter cubes into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or 2 knives. Stir in the pecans and the reserved orange zest.
• Spread the topping over the fruit. Cut the remaining 1/2 stick butter into cubes and dot the top of the crisp with it. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until the top is browned and the fruit is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool a bit before serving.
• For the whipped cream: Mix the cream and granulated sugar in a bowl and whip to the desired consistency.
• Plate the crisp into individual bowls and top with the whipped cream.

GRILLED NECTARINES WITH BLUEBERRIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss together nectarines with sugar; set aside to macerate, about 15 minutes.
• Heat grill to medium. Stack two pieces of 10-by-12-inch heavy-duty aluminum foil; place on grill. With a slotted spoon, transfer nectarines to foil; reserve any juice that has accumulated in bowl. Cover grill, and cook until nectarines are charred and softened, turning occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Return nectarines to bowl; add blueberries, and toss to combine. Divide fruit evenly among four serving bowls; drizzle reserved juice over the top. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

GRILLED NECTARINES WITH BLUE CHEESE, FARM STAND HONEY AND BLACK PEPPER

Steps:

• Heat grill. Brush cut side of nectarine with oil and place on the grill, cut-side down. Grill until caramelized. Turn over and grill for 1 to 2 minutes until almost soft. Place nectarines on a platter, cut-side up and place a dollop of cheese in the center of each nectarine, drizzle with honey and ground fresh pepper over the top.

BLUEBERRY AND NECTARINE COBBLER

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• For the fruit: Halve the nectarines along their natural seam, but leave skins on. Cut each half into 3 wedges. Toss nectarines with blueberries, sugar, and tapioca and put into a buttered 9-inch round gratin or casserole dish. Dot the top of the fruit with the pieces of butter.
• For the cobbler top: Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Rub in 2 tablespoons of the butter with your fingertips until no visible pieces remain. Rub in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter just until it is in even, pea-size pieces. Whisk together the egg and cream and stir into the dry ingredients to make a shaggy, loose dough.
• Spoon large spoonfuls of dough on top of the fruit in clumps (it should look like rough, old-fashioned cobblestones, hence the name cobbler). Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the topping comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cobbler on a rack, about 20 minutes.
• Serve warm or room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
• Serving suggestions: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

NECTARINE AND BLUEBERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees, and position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine sugar, lemon zest and vanilla in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the zest and seeds (or extract) into the sugar. Add the flour and salt and stir to combine. Add the nectarines, blueberries and lemon juice, but don't stir quite yet.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch round just under 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
• Stir the filling to combine, then pile all the fruit in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Press the fruit gently to make sure there are no large open pockets. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the fruit and press gently to seal the folds.
• Put the whole baking sheet into the freezer, and chill the formed galette until the dough is very firm, about 15 minutes. Brush dough with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar and salt. Bake until deep golden brown and the juices are bubbling, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

BLUEBERRY AND NECTARINE BUCKLE

Steps:

• Make the topping: In a small bowl blend together the butter, the sugar, the flour, the cinnamon, and the nutmeg until the mixture resembles coarse meal and chill the topping while making the batter.
• Make the batter: In a small bowl with an electric mixer cream together the butter and the sugar and beat in the vanilla. In a small bowl stir together the baking powder, the flour, and the salt, beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture alternately with the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and fold in the blueberries and the nectarines.
• Spread the batter in a well-buttered 10-by 2-inch round cake pan or 2-quart baking pan, sprinkle the topping evenly over it and bake the buckle in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean and the topping is crisp and golden. Serve the buckle with whipped cream.

NECTARINE AND BLUEBERRY CLAFOUTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. and butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish.
• Cut nectarines into 1/4-inch-thick wedges and in a bowl macerate with blueberries in wine 15 minutes.
• Melt butter and cool slightly. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk in flour until combined well and whisk in milk, butter, vanilla, and 1/4 cup wine from fruit mixture until smooth. With a slotted spoon transfer fruit to baking dish, reserving wine for another use (such as sangría), and arrange in bottom. Carefully pour batter over fruit (the fruit will rise to the top) and bake in upper third of oven until puffed and set in center, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer clafouti to a rack to cool.
• Just before serving, dust clafouti with confectioners'sugar. Serve clafouti warm or at room temperature.
