Baked Pecan Stuffed Nectarines

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup of pecan halves
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 large egg yolks
• 4 firm ripe nectarines

Garnish:

• 8 pecan halves

Accompaniment:

• Super Premium Vanilla Ice Cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a small food processor pulse pecans until finely ground. Add 1/4 cup sugar and yolks and pulse until combined. Halve and pit nectarines and arrange, cut sides up, on a small baking sheet.
