Poached Nectarines With Sugar Whipped Cream Recipes

CHAMOMILE-POACHED NECTARINES

Steps:

• Stir together sugar and 1 1/2 cups water in a large saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved.
• Tie a small piece of cheesecloth around the chamomile to form a pouch. Add chamomile pouch, the vanilla bean, and nectarines to the saucepan. Reduce heat to low. Cook until nectarines are tender, about 7 minutes. Discard chamomile pouch and the vanilla bean. Let mixture cool completely. Poached nectarines can be refrigerated in their juice in an airtight container, up to 1 day.

POACHED NECTARINES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine wine, sugar, cinnamon sticks, lemon peel, and 5 cups water. Place over medium heat, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Gently place nectarines in the liquid. Add more water if needed to cover nectarines. Place a square of cheesecloth over the fruit, and top with a small plate to keep fruit submerged.
• Increase heat to high, and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until nectarines are tender but not soft, about 5 minutes. Remove nectarines from liquid, and allow to cool
• Return liquid to a boil, and cook until reduced to a syrup that will coat the back of spoon, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool.
• Cut nectarines in half, and remove pit. Place two halves on serving plate. Drizzle with syrup. Top each half with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprig of mint.

NECTARINE MUFFINS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F. Add liners to muffin tin. In a large mixing bowl, mash the avocado very well. Add the granulated sugar, oil, Greek yogurt or sour cream, light brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, optional salt, and whisk to combine. Add 1 cup flour, baking powder, and stir until just combined. Set bowl aside. In a small bowl, toss nectarines with 2 tablespoons flour. This is an important step. It prevents them from sinking while baking. Gently fold the nectarines into the batter. Divide batter evenly among cups in prepared pan. Bake at 400F for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350F and bake for another 15 to 17 minutes, or until muffins are done. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Allow muffins to cool in pan for about 10 minutes before removing.

NECTARINE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a shallow five- to six-cup baking dish with a little butter.
• Lightly mix half a teaspoon of the cinnamon, half a cup of the brown sugar and the cornstarch together. Toss the nectarines with the lemon juice, fold in the sugar mixture and spread in the baking dish.
• With a fork or a pastry blender, or by pulsing in a food processor, combine the flour, remaining sugar and cinnamon with the remaining butter until crumbly. Spread over the nectarines.
• Bake about 40 minutes, until the top has browned and the filling is bubbly. Allow the crisp to cool to lukewarm, then serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
