Frozen Nectarines

I'm trying to use up some of my freezer stock and have some frozen nectarines (halved and stoned). I was thinking of doing a kind of compote with a ginger syrup (have some ginger in a jar in the fridge).

Anyone got any other suggestions though? Preferably not a crumble as i'm a bit crumbled out from a glut of blackberries :o

Trying to keep it relatively healthy too.

    I like grilled peaches so maybe you could grill the nectarines and serve with some natural yogurt, honey and some kind of nut? (I like pistachios with my fruit)

    Why not make a fruit cobbler with them?
  • Fairly sure you can make clafoutis with nectarines, not sure how healthy it'll end up though!

    Nectarine frozen yoghurt?

    I do think your compote sounds really lovely though and something where the fruit is pureed is probably the right way to go with frozen ones.

    Make some Hairy Dieters rice pudding and serve warmed nectarines with it.

    The rice pud is cooked on the stove top.

    100g pudding rice
    200ml water
    400ml milk
    1 tsp golden caster sugar (I use ordinary granulated).
    1 tsp vanilla essence

    Bung everything into a saucepan and put on the stove stirring occasionally - do not let it boil as soon as you see bubbles forming turn it down. Stir constantly until thickened. When thickened it is ready to serve.

    It serves 4 people (can be served hot or cold).

    Found this when trawling through the internet - 15 recipes for nectarines (use the green arrow buttons at the top of the recipe to move to next one). http://www.delish.com/recipes/cooking-recipes/nectarine-dessert-recipes#slide-1

    I used nectarines to make a mango-style chutney - chopped small, some white vinegar, white sugar, finely chopped onion & coarse ground chilli. Cooked it off till it went syrupy & kept in a loc'n'loc in the fridge. It ALL went with our next curry (but was v scrummy!)

  • Upside down cake is lovely with peaches or nectarines.
