Roasted Nectarines With Mulled Wine Sauce

Submitted by Tisme

"Such a delcious way to use fresh nectarines. Served with custard, ice-cream or youghurt. I found this recipe in the paper and this is such a lovely dessert for summer, it would make for a lovely light dessert during the Christmas period, the spices just compliment the nectarines so well. I am also going to try this with plums. I removed the skins after cooking, the skins come off so well, and looks better for presentation."

I scaled back for 6 nectarines and my dish was a little on the big side but otherwise made as per recipe using a shiraz but when it came to the time I didn't feel like dessert so served up the the DM and DS - 2 nectarines each and a good dollop of french vanilla yoghurt and the juices (they tasted delectable - yes I had a taste) and they thoroughly enjoyed, thank you Tisme, made for Make My Recipe tag game.

We love nectarines so this was a real winner Tis! I just kept poking them in until the casserole dish was full (10 nectarines!) then continued. I used a VERY light "butter" and it worked fine. After the nectarines were cooked, I tasted the sauce-it was good, but I knew it could be better, so I remove the fruit and reduced it by half-PERFECT!!!!!
