We'd bought too many nectarines from Costco and needed to use the remainder up quick, so I gave this recipe a try. I tweaked it a bit - didn't boil the fruit, i just sliced/chunked it with the skin on. I added 1.5 teaspoons of extract, and I upped the spices, too - more cinnamon, as well as nutmeg and ginger. I did a simple crumb crust of chopped butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup flour. Cooked it for 40 minutes and cooled it completely. It was excellent! Really terrific! My 8 year old said it looked funny, but he changed his tune once he tasted it. I highly recommend this recipe. This recipe would work well with peaches or plums. Next time I'm going to throw in some blueberries, too.
