Nectarine vs Peach

[bi0boy]

Hmmm, this is probably why even tinned peaches actually taste better than fresh ones from UK shops.

Fur, schmur...

Blanch 'em for a few seconds,
Peel,
Slice,
Cover with honey and a liqueuer of some kind,
Refigerate,
Serve on the best vanilla ice cream you can afford about six hours later.
No nectarine can rival that

Excellent!

If you have a really ripe peach you can quarter it (the stone drops neatly out) and then simply peel the skin off..that is if you are so fussy you simply couldn't eat the skin.

Nectarines clerarly, not just absolutely delicious when ripe, but they also remind me of family holidays in France as a kid.
