Spiced Nectarine Sauce

1. 1

   If you'd rather, peel the nectarines; I like having the peel in there.

2. 2

   Melt butter in small saucepan over medium high heat.

3. 3

   Dissolve brown sugar in the melted butter, then add the cubed nectarines and the rest of the spices.

4. 4

   When mixture starts to simmer, turn heat down to low.

5. 5

   Simmer in order to achieve desired consistency and allow flavors to blend. You will want this to be chunky, with some textural variation--chunks of fruit in a thick, medium-brown sauce. This may take 5-10 minutes. Remove pods before serving (? I'm actually not sure if you can eat them).

6. 6

   Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, or cool and refrigerate.

7. 7

   My note: this was excellent with hot multigrain cereal! I cooked the cereal first and then added the sauce, about 1:1, stirred it in and warmed it up along with the cereal for a few minutes on low/simmer. Yummy!
