Caramelized Nectarines

INGREDIENTS
5 large nectarines
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp dark brown sugar

DIRECTIONS

Set a strainer over a bowl and cut the nectarines into the strainer, so their juice collects in the bowl.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then add butter. When hot but not yet smoking, add the nectarines and saute them for about 2 to 3 minutes, until they sizzle and their juices begin to thicken. Sprinkle the sugar over them and saute until the juices further thicken and the sugar caramelizes slightly, about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and the nectarine juice collected in the bowl and stir and saute until everything is well blended. Let the nectarines cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the juices are very thick, which will take a minute or two.

Let sit for a few minutes before serving.
