Elisabeth
Made this with nectarines and Mark Bittman's whipped cream and it was wonderful! I did add a pinch of kosher salt, as recommended by Amy M, to the sugar mix before tossing with the fruit. Perfection.
Jenny
Found 4 nectarines in the fruit bowl and made this recipe as a last minute dessert. It's quick and easy to put together and absolutely delicious. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for sure!
Anne
This was good, but not the best I've had. The topping was a bit dry and could have used some salt to brighten the flavors.

Amy M
Delicious but it needs a little salt. Not much but it is otherwise (surprisingly) a little bland.
Zaza C
It’s not summer until I make this dessert. Simple and delicious.
Janis
Delicious! Family says, “Super, SUPER good!”
Janet
Absolutely delicious! I'm biased, because nectarines are hands-down my favorite fruit. But this is really really good. I look forward to nectarine season every Summer. It's the only time you can get really good nectarines [don't waste your $ at any time of year other than June, July or August]. Will make this again & again.
