💭 Tips For Cooking With Nectarines
Cooking and baking with nectarines can be a delightful experience, adding a sweet and tangy flavor to various dishes. They can also be used interchangeably in many peach-based recipes, so feel free to experiment!
- 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 the nectarines under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel before using them to remove any dirt or residue.
- Slice or chop uniformly: To ensure even cooking and baking, slice or chop nectarines into consistent sizes.
- Pair with herbs and spices: Try out some fresh herbs like basil or mint and spices such as cinnamon or ginger to enhance the nectarine's flavor.
- 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.
