Method

  1. 01

    Place the nectarine halves cut-side down in a steamer basket over boiling water.

  3. 03

    Steam for 7–8 minutes until completely tender when pierced.

  4. 04

    Allow to cool slightly, then peel away the skins and transfer the flesh to a blender.

  5. 05

    Blend until smooth, adjusting consistency with a splash of water, and cool before serving.
