AMARETTO NECTARINES
This is a recipe I saw on a cooking show but I have "tweeked" it a lot. Everyone who I have made this for rants and raves about it. You can omit the amaretto or substitute another liquor if you like. I sometimes use a soy ice cream substitute for my lactose intolerant friends. If I have them on hand, I throw in a few blueberries or blackberries for color. Very easy recipe with lots of kudos for the cook!!

AMARETTO NECTARINES
Steps:
- Place quartered nectarines in a large resealable bag.
- In a small bowl, stir together amaretto, orange juice concentrate, and cloves. Pour over the nectarines and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours.

- Set up grill for direct grilling over medium heat and oil the grates.
- Remove nectarines from marinade and place on hot grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until grill marks appear and nectarines have begun to soften.
- Serve warm with the almond mascarpone and garnish with the remaining toasted almonds.
- Cook's Note: Make this kid-friendly by marinating 3 quartered nectarines in 2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate, 1/2 cup ginger ale, and 3 cloves. Continue the recipe as written.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the nectarine halves snugly in a baking dish, cut-side up. Put the amaretti biscuits into a large bowl and use the end of a rolling pin to bash into crumbs. Add the softened butter, ground almonds, caster sugar and egg, and stir together.
- Push spoonfuls of the mixture into the cavities of the nectarines, piling more on top until the mixture is evenly divided among them. Scatter with almonds, then carefully pour the Marsala into the dish through a gap between the fruit so the topping doesn't get soggy. Bake for 40-50 mins until golden and crisp, and the fruit is soft. Eat warm with the juices spooned over, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or crème fraîche alongside.

Steps:

Tips:
- To enhance the flavor of the nectarines, choose ripe and aromatic fruits. Avoid nectarines that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Before grilling the nectarines, brush them with a mixture of melted butter and brown sugar. This will help caramelize the fruit and create a delicious glaze.
- If you do not have a grill, you can also roast the nectarines in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- For a refreshing summer snack, serve the grilled or roasted nectarines with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- You can also use the grilled or roasted nectarines in salads, tarts, or other desserts.
