nectarine

Instead of judging by appearance, select a mango as you would a peach or nectarine.

The two stone fruits are very similar in many ways, and relatively interchangeable in uses, but nectarines are often firmer, sweeter and juicier than peaches.

While peaches tend to get most of the hype during stone fruit season, don’t sleep on nectarines.

As such, apricots aren’t usually interchangeable with peaches or nectarines in recipes because of the difference in water content.

Serve white and yellow nectarine sherbets together for a dramatic presentation.

The nectarine is in large favor in Europe and is much more extensively grown than in America.

Also, the flesh of the nectarine is firmer and has a stronger flavor than that of the peach.

Nina finished a mouthful of nectarine and picked up the books one by one.

Some have a powerful scent that is very near that of a ripe Nectarine; of this the best example I know is the old rose Goubault.

Right by the porch, in a lovely southern exposure, was a delicious nectarine.
