Warm Nectarines with Almonds and Vanilla Ice Cream

Nectarines are wonderfully meaty and sweet. To combine them with roasted almonds and served with ice cream is a dessert worthy a queen.

INGREDIENTS:

6 nectarines

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons butter

Juice of one lemon

½ cup roasted flaked almonds

PREPARATION:

• Cut the nectarines into wedges.

• Melt the butter and sugar in a saucepan.

• Mix in the nectarines and pour in the lemon juice. Bring it to a boil. The sugar should be completely dissolved and the nectarines have become softer, about two minutes.

• Mix in the almonds and serve warm with the ice cream.
