Sun-ripened nectarines are the smooth, fuzz-free versions of their more popular cousin, the peach. Nectarines have juicy flesh that offers a refreshing burst of summer in every bite.
Harvested at their peak as they ripen in the summer sun, these seasonal stone fruits are firm-fleshed and great for the grill, chopped up in salads, or as a snack. Slice them and serve with yogurt for a satisfying breakfast, or spoon them over vanilla ice cream for a juicy dessert. Stock up while they're in season, then freeze them for baked goods or smoothies and enjoy a burst of summer sunshine in the cool winter months.
