Sweet-Tart & Smooth: Nectarines!

Nectarines are in season and ready to deliver that bright, juicy burst of summer to your menu. With their smooth skin, fragrant aroma, and slightly firmer texture, nectarines are a versatile stone fruit that adds color and flavor to a wide range of dishes.

Nearly identical to peaches, nectarines shine in both sweet and savory applications. Enjoy them fresh over yogurt, blended into smoothies, or baked into classics like crisps and upside-down cakes. Their natural sugars caramelize beautifully on the grill, making them an elegant addition to desserts like ice cream, panna cotta, or whipped mascarpone.

Their sweet-tart profile also makes them a natural fit in savory dishes. Try them roasted alongside pork or duck, tossed into salads with arugula and goat cheese, or added to grain bowls for a pop of color and contrast. This stone fruit brings a fresh, complementary balance to bold flavors, perfect for creating vibrant, seasonal dishes.

With their vibrant flavor, visual appeal, and cross-category versatility, nectarines are the perfect way to showcase the best of summer.
