  • 💬 Comments & Reviews

Nectarines are such an underrated fruit, always living in the shadow of the more well-known peaches. However, nectarines (which are a type of peach) are a great choice for baking because they can remain firm after being in the oven, while typical peaches become very soft.

This tasty fruit is one of my summertime favorites, and I look forward to baking with them every year.

You can use nectarines in almost any peach recipe, so try my Southern peach cobbler, peach pie, or peach galette. You can read all about the similarities and differences between cobblers, crisps, crumbles, & buckles here, if you're curious. 🍑

1. Nectarine Cobbler

This beginner-friendly, easy-to-make cobbler will make all of your summertime dreams come true. All you need to do is mix up the easy batter and stir in your sliced nectarines before popping it into the oven.

Nectarine Cobbler Recipe
My deliciously tangy nectarine cobbler is the perfect summertime dessert featuring a not-too-sweet batter and sliced nectarines.

2. Nectarine Crisp

This delicious crisp features perfectly ripe nectarines and an irresistible oatmeal streusel topping. It is so simple to throw together using common baking ingredients that it will easily become one of your favorite desserts.

Add a scoop of my no-churn vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of toffee sauce for an out-of-this-world treat.

3. Crumble Bars

Oh my goodness, these heavenly dessert bars combine two of my favorite things, tender baked nectarines and a tasty oatmeal streusel crumble. Use the crumble as the base and the topping to sandwich the sweet fruit.

4. Nectarine Upside Down Cake

We all know and love pineapple upside-down cakes, but did you know you could replicate them using nectarines? In fact, it is just as delicious as it sounds.

Simply layer your brown sugar and nectarines, and then cake batter into your pan before baking. Once it is done, you can flip it over to reveal the sweet upside-down cake.

6. Grilled Nectarines

If you are already grilling out, this easy recipe makes a fantastic sweet treat after the main course (or as a side dish). When grilled, the nectarines become tender and extra sweet.

Drizzle them with a delicious honey-balsamic glaze to take them to the next level. These nectarines are an easy, guilt-free dessert.

7. Nectarine Pie

I'm a huge fan of any variety of fruit pie, and this nectarine pie is no exception. It is the perfect balance between sweet and tart and is completely addicting.

You can use some store-bought pie crust for an extra easy and quick dessert, or make the dough entirely from scratch.

It only takes 30 minutes from start to finish, and then you'll be sitting down and enjoying these sweet scones. The scones themselves are chock full of fresh nectarines with a hint of vanilla.

Finish them off with a simple vanilla bean glaze, and you're ready to eat.

9. Nectarine Clafoutis

If you've never heard of clafoutis before, it is a French dessert that features fruit and a custard-like batter. It's a similar concept to a tart but with no pie crust.

It is impressive enough to serve on any special occasion you may have coming up.

11. Nectarine Popsicles

When the weather is extra hot, what's a better way to cool off than with an icy cold, refreshing popsicle? Not to mention, these incredibly delicious popsicles only use four ingredients.

Yogurt makes them extra creamy, while the nectarines, honey, and vanilla add flavor. Just grab your popsicle mold, and you are ready to begin.

12. Nectarine Galette

Easier to make than a traditional pie, a galette is an open-faced type of pie that has the bottom crust gently folded up around the filling. This recipe uses both peaches and nectarines, but you can certainly use all nectarines if you like.

I also have a recipe for a delicious peach galette or blueberry galette if you want to try those, too.

13. Nectarine Raspberry Jam

This beginner-friendly jam uses just a handful of ingredients and tastes great on everything. Try it with cathead biscuits, as a pancake topping, on some toast, or even as a glaze for pork or chicken.

Go ahead and make a huge batch to use up any nectarines and raspberries you may have left, and then you'll have enough jam to last you all year (or gift it to others).

14. Nectarine Golden Cake

It's the perfect treat for both kids and adults alike.

💭 Tips For Cooking With Nectarines

  • Choose ripe nectarines. Look for nectarines that are slightly soft to the touch and have a fragrant aroma. They should give slightly when pressed. If they are still hard, let them sit for a few more days to finish ripening.
  • Wash and dry thoroughly. Rinse or soak the nectarines with cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel before using them to remove any dirt, residue, or insecticide.
  • Slice or chop uniformly. The key to making sure that your dishes bake evenly is to slice or chop your nectarines into pieces that are all the same size.
  • Pair with herbs and spices. Try out some fresh herbs like basil or mint and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, or ginger to enhance the nectarine's flavor.
  • Smoked fruit. Nectarines are a great fruit for smoking too. Use them in a dessert and bake in your smoker, or just smoke the halved nectarines and serve with dinner.
  • Freeze for later. If you have an abundance of ripe nectarines, freeze them for future use. Slice or chop them, lay them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a sealed container.
