The One With the Pancakes and Nectarine Syrup

I've been a little wordy lately, so I'm going to cut to the chase. This is really simple and really good. You should try it. Especially if you've got some nectarines that are on their last leg. Just grill up some pancakes and drizzle them with this and some freshly whipped cream and you're good to go.
Nectarine Syrup
  • Nectarines (I used two and it served 4)
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons of sugar per nectarine
Remove pit and dice nectarines medium. In blender, puree nectarines and add sugar. Blend for several minutes, until completely liquid.
My nectarines were past ripe, so they made a great syrup very easily. If you are using fresher nectarines, you may need to heat your puree in the microwave for 1-2 minutes to help it break down.

Freshly Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
Whip your whipping cream on high until it begins to stiffen. Add sugar. Continue to whip until stiff peaks form when you remove your beaters.
This is such a yummy twist on breakfast. It tastes so summery and fresh.  Even Ellie devoured it. And she's my toughest critic.
