Nectarine is a rounded, summer fruit that has yellow flesh and a red blush. It is distinguished with its sweet and slightly acidic flavor. Nectarines are best to be consumed fresh and added to fruit salads.
You can use Nectarines in salads, ice cream, jams, pies, cakes, and tarts. Nectarines pair well with cheeses such as goat, gorgonzola, and mozzarella, herbs including basil, mint, and cilantro, fruits such as berries, citrus, cherries, pomegranate, and apricots, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, meats such as poultry, and beef, fish, and shrimp.
Whole, unripe Nectarines can be kept at room temperature until ripe. Once ripe, the Nectarines should be stored in the refrigerator, where they will keep for a few additional days. It is recommended to eat ripe fruits immediately for the best quality and flavor.
