Made this with nectarines and Mark Bittman's whipped cream and it was wonderful! I did add a pinch of kosher salt, as recommended by Amy M, to the sugar mix before tossing with the fruit. Perfection.
Found 4 nectarines in the fruit bowl and made this recipe as a last minute dessert. It's quick and easy to put together and absolutely delicious. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for sure!
This was good, but not the best I've had. The topping was a bit dry and could have used some salt to brighten the flavors.
