3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
¼ cup brown sugar (such as muscovado)

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar

Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Nectarine     Summer     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
5 large nectarines (about 1 1/2 pounds), or peaches (which must be skinned)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons muscovado or dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Set a strainer over a bowl and cut the nectarines into the strainer, so their juice collects in the bowl.
  • 2. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When it is hot but not smoking, add the nectarines and sauté them until they sizzle and their juices reduce and begin to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the sugar over them and sauté until the juices further thicken and the sugar caramelizes slightly, about 1 minute. You may want to increase the heat under the pan to medium-high. Add the lemon juice and sauté until the juices thicken, then add any nectarine juice that collected in the bowl, and shake the pan so that all is well blended. Let the nectarines cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the juices are very thick, which will take a minute or so. The total cooking time will be about 6 minutes.
  • 3. Transfer the nectarines to 4 warmed dessert plates, or to a warmed serving dish, let sit for about 4 minutes so they are not blistering hot when served.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe nectarines: Look for nectarines that have a deep, golden-orange color and a slightly soft texture. Avoid nectarines that are too hard or have green patches, as they will not be as flavorful.
  • Use unsalted butter: Unsalted butter is best for this recipe, as it allows you to control the amount of salt in the dish. If you only have salted butter, be sure to omit the salt from the recipe.
  • Toast the spices: Toasting the spices in a pan before adding them to the nectarines will help to bring out their flavor and aroma.
  • Cook the nectarines over medium heat: Cooking the nectarines over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. Be sure to stir the nectarines frequently so that they cook evenly.
  • Serve immediately: Butter-spiced nectarines are best served immediately, while they are still warm and juicy.

Conclusion:

Butter-spiced nectarines are a delicious and easy-to-make summer dessert. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dessert or a special occasion.
