Photo: Grilled Nectarines with Mascarpone Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 firm yet ripe large nectarines, pitted and halved
- 1/4 cup amaretto
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, chilled
- 1/2 cup whipping cream, chilled
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
Directions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the nectarines with the amaretto. Grill until golden, tender and you have achieved beautiful grill marks, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, 6 minutes total. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.
Add the mascarpone, whipping cream, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until soft peaks appear.
Plate the grilled nectarines on a platter and top each with a dollop of whipped mascarpone and a sprinkling of chopped pistachios. Serve immediately.

Very tasty! The creamy mascarpone is excellent. HOWEVER make sure you buy nectarines that half easily. I bought some beautiful nectarines but the pits were very clingy and I basically had to grill in slices instead of the halves. It wasn't as pretty, but still tasted great. I don't know the different varieties, but might be worth looking into next time.
