Answer 2

You can make nectarine preserves or you can stuff a pork roast with them.

You can ripen them and cut them into your cereal in the morning.

You can make nectarine smoothies( if they're not sweet enough add some honey).

Earth and Vine makes a great nectarine jam/preserve.

Look them up.

Answer 3

cook them up in a little low calorie lemonade, and then put them in sterilized jars...then you will have them on hand to enjoy all year round when they are out of season.  Great for brekky with a little yogurt, or as a filling for a pie...or a nectarine puree over ice cream - yum-mo!!

Nectarine pie!  Nectarine cookies!  Nectarine cake!  Nectarine syrup!  Nectarine jam!  Nectarine pizza!  Nectarine salad!  Nectarine pasta!  Nectarine face wash!  

Srsly though, try them on a salad with some feta cheese and balsamic or raspberry vinaigrette.
