Nectarines & Macadamia Nut Butter
Given my recent preoccupation with macadamia nut butter, I’m sure you knew another mac butter recipe would be on the way. How could it not? The stuff is simply fabulous! I’m in a bit of culinary mourning right now, actually, because I polished off my jar this morning when I stirred the last spoonful of mac butter into my last spoonful of applesauce. (Organic applesauce lives up to its lively freshness by growing mold in about 2 weeks, so the rule there is “use it, don’t lose it!”) But I’ve had quite a few delicious treats with the mac nut butter, so I’m mourning in a satisfied kind of way.
This fruit-and-mac idea works with apples, pears, nectarines, peaches…pretty much any kind of fruit that can be neatly sliced. Nutmeg or ginger would also work in place of the cinnamon.
Nectarines with Macadamia Nut Butter & Cinnamon
Slice a nectarine and fan it out on a plate. Top with a spoonful of macadamia nut butter and a sprinkling of cinnamon, then serve immediately. (Figure on one nectarine per person.) You could also serve with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and a drizzling of honey, or you could cut the nectarine into smaller pieces and use this idea as a topping for ice cream.
Enjoy!
