Hi, there, You can use nectarines for any thing you can use peaches for. One of my favorites is nectarine chutney:) We also can them to use for breakfast throughout the year, putting them in plain Middle Eastern yogurt laced with either home made passion fruit syrup or lime syrup. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm! Then, again, one can always log on to recipesource.com for more inspiration:) Ron
