Ingredients

Caramelised nectarines

8 nectarines, quartered and pitted

2 tablespoon brown or demerara sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup pistachios, toasted

Homemade yoghurt curd

2 cup plain Greek yoghurt

1 teaspoon lemon zest

Method

Caramelised nectarines

1.Preheat oven to 250°C.

2.Toss the fruit with the sugar in a large bowl. Pour into an oven-proof pan and roast until the sugar starts to caramelise and the fruit burns in places. Add the vanilla and give the nectarines a quick toss.

3.Spoon the stone fruit into individual bowls, drizzling over the pan juices.

4.Top with a little yoghurt curd and the pistachios.

5.Line a bowl with muslin or a thin tea towel and pour in the yoghurt. Sprinkle over the zest. Gather up the cloth edges and tie. Suspend the pouch over the bowl (I use a long-handled wooden spoon) and place in the fridge. Drain for about four hours or overnight. It will become nice and thick.
