Best Nectarine Sauce Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH NECTARINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle pork chops with seasonings. Dredge lightly with flour. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook chops until a thermometer reads 145°, 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from pan; keep warm., Add onion to same pan; cook and stir over medium heat 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Add nectarines; cook until lightly browned on both sides. Stir in broth and, if desired, honey; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, until nectarines are softened and sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve with chops.

NECTARINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Put ginger in bowl of a food processor and chop as finely as possible.
• Add nectarines and puree. Add lemon juice and sugar to taste (nectarines vary in sweetness and acidity).

SPICED NECTARINE SAUCE

Steps:

• If you'd rather, peel the nectarines; I like having the peel in there.
• Melt butter in small saucepan over medium high heat.
• Dissolve brown sugar in the melted butter, then add the cubed nectarines and the rest of the spices.
• When mixture starts to simmer, turn heat down to low.
• Simmer in order to achieve desired consistency and allow flavors to blend. You will want this to be chunky, with some textural variation--chunks of fruit in a thick, medium-brown sauce. This may take 5-10 minutes. Remove pods before serving (? I'm actually not sure if you can eat them).
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, or cool and refrigerate.
• My note: this was excellent with hot multigrain cereal! I cooked the cereal first and then added the sauce, about 1:1, stirred it in and warmed it up along with the cereal for a few minutes on low/simmer. Yummy!

NECTARINE-RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir first 6 ingredients in medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil syrup 1 minute. Reduce heat. Add nectarines. Simmer until nectarines are tender but still hold shape, about 10 minutes. Transfer sauce to bowl; cool. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.

MAPLE ENCRUSTED CHICKEN WITH NECTARINE BRANDY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lightly butter the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange chicken in dish in a single layer. In a medium bowl, mix together the pecans, mustard, maple syrup, melted butter, brandy, egg white, and pepper. Spread mixture evenly over each chicken breast. Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Arrange chicken on a platter and spoon Nectarine Brandy Sauce over each piece. Garnish with parsley sprigs and seasonal flowers. Serve with additional sauce on the side.
• In medium saucepan, combine all ingredients and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Sauce.
• Put the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and water together in a small pot.
• Boil rapidly for 4 - 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Remove the sauce from heat and allow too cool.
• When cooled add the Grand Marnia and set aside until ready to use.
• Pancake.
• Beat the egg well and stir in the melted butter and buttermilk.
• In a small bowl add the flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon and baking powder and stir into the egg mixture.
• Now gently add the diced nectarines to the batter.
• Heat your pan and lightly grease with the butter.
• I cook my pancakes on medium low heat.
• Pour batter onto the prepared pan and cook until bubbles begin to appear and fill the entire surface of the pancake.
• Turn with a spatula and cook the other side.
• Your pancakes should feel fluffy and tender when touched.
• Remove from heat, put on platter and keep warm until all pancakes are done.
