Peaches, apples, pears and apricots also work well cooked this way, as do pecans, hazelnuts and almonds.
3/4 cup maple syrup
4 nectarines, cut in half, seeds removed
1 cup macadamias, cut in half
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pour maple syrup into a frypan and bring to the boil. Allow to boil for a few minutes to reduce. Add nectarines, skin-side down, and cook for one minute. Gently turn over and add macadamias and cinnamon. Keep on a high heat until nectarines become glazed and are warmed through (about 10 minutes). Serve as is or with vanilla ice-cream or custard.
