I would like healthy recipes using nectarines?

Answer 1

A nectarine is just a peach without fuzz, so any recipe suitable for a peach would work well. www.recipesource.com is one place to start for good basic recipes. Eaten as they are is always a good choice, sliced and tossed into a salad- fruit or green, broiled au naturel or with a honey coat as a side for poultry or with pound cake as a desert, sliced onto a cream cheese multigrain bagel for breakfast, just to name a few ideas.
