Grilled Nectarines with Mascarpone and Blackberries
Serves: 4
Ingredients
PreparationIngredients
- 4 tender-firm nectarines Add to list
- 1 tablespoon warm honey Add to list
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice Add to list
- 1 tablespoon melted butter Add to list
- 2 to 4 ounces mascarpone cheese Add to list
- 12 blackberries Add to list
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce (PCC sells several great brands!) Add to list
- Lavender blossoms (optional) Add to list
Preparation
Cut the nectarines in half and remove the pits. Combine the honey, lemon juice and melted butter in a small bowl.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat or prepare a bed of hot coals. Brush the nectarines with the honey glaze and place them on the grill, cut side down. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes or until they have nice golden grill marks. Flip them over and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more until just tender.
Serve the warm, grilled nectarines in pretty dessert dishes topped with a dollop of cool mascarpone, a scattering of blackberries and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Sprinkle with a few lavender blossoms if you have them.
