Tips
When choosing nectarines for grilling, it is important to find ones that strike a balance between ripeness and firmness. Choosing ripe nectarines is important because they will have the best flavour and texture when grilled. They will caramelise nicely on the BBQ, becoming slightly sweeter and softer while still retaining some firmness. Ripe nectarines should have a vibrant, even colour. Depending on the variety, they can range from yellow to orange or even have a blush of red. Avoid nectarines that are overly green or have dull, muted colours, as they may not be fully ripe.
Tips
If you do not have access to an outdoor BBQ, such as a gas or charcoal BBQ, do not worry! You can still enjoy this recipe by using an indoor BBQ alternative. Consider using an electric countertop BBQ, a panini maker, or a grill pan. These indoor options provide a convenient way to achieve the desired grilling effect and caramelisation, allowing you to savour the delicious flavours of the dessert even without an outdoor BBQ.

Enjoy the delicate texture and bold charred flavour
This dessert is all about celebrating the incredible taste of nectarines. When you throw the ripe juicy fruit on the BBQ, something magical happens. The heat works wonders, caramelising the natural sugars in the nectarines and creating an extra level of sweetness with a touch of that irresistible charred goodness. Imagine sinking your teeth into a grilled nectarine with the outer layer having a slight crispiness from the BBQ, giving way to a tender and juicy centre. And let us not forget about that charred flavour! It adds a smoky goodness that takes the natural sweetness of the fruit to a whole new level of deliciousness.
Experiment a bit: brush with maple syrup and brown sugar
If you are looking to elevate the flavours of your grilled nectarines, it is time to get creative and experiment a bit. One delicious way to enhance the natural sweetness and add an extra hint of caramelisation is by brushing them with a combination of maple syrup and brown sugar. This simple addition takes your grilled nectarines to a whole new level of indulgence. Using a brush, generously baste the nectarines with the smooth and aromatic maple syrup. Sprinkle the cut sides of the nectarines with brown sugar. The grains of brown sugar will melt and blend with the nectarine's natural juices, creating a luscious caramel coating. As the nectarines hit the BBQ, the heat will work its magic, intensifying the flavours and transforming the fruit into a delightfully sweet treat.
