Nectarines

I just tried a new way to eat nectarines and it tasted so amazingly wonderful that I thought I would share it here.  Nectarines are in season right now, so if you would like a new way to enjoy this fruit, run out and get yourself some.  All I did was take a spoon and scoop out chunks of the nectarine into a bowl.  Then, I sprinkled cinnamon all over the chunks.  It tasted wonderful!  Even my boys who said they hated nectarines before, loved this!  Has anyone ever tried this before?

It is a great way to get kids to eat a new fruit.  It's also very healthy because cinnamon is very good for you.  It has been proven to help people with diabetes because it reduces fasting blood glucose levels.  It also can aid in lowering cholesterol levels.

I hope you enjoy!  Please let me know if you give it a try and what you think.

Nope, never tried them that way. I love to just eat them plain.

I've never thought of that. I did recently buy nectarines. You're right about the cinnamon thing. They have cinnamon in capsules for that purpose.

Sounds different, how did you come up with doing this?
Holly K. Aug 26, 2010, 8:51pm UTC
Well, I always put cinnamon on my applesauce and it occurred to me that it might taste good on other fruits as well. I had just happened to buy some nectarines, so I gave it a try. I don't think I'll ever eat a nectarine plain again :-)

I always put cinnamon on my applesauce as well, my older boy won't eat it if I don't.

YUM
I never tried that. Nectarines are on sale now, so this is the perfect time to try something new with them. Thanks!

tasty! thanx for the idea -- I usually eat them with half & half, kind of like peaches and cream -- you could always chop them up and simmer them in sugar water with cloves
