(Nectarine) Nectarines are a deliciously sweet member of the peach family, but nectarines are not, as some people believe, a cross between a peach and a plum. One nectarine has about 65 calories and provides about one-fifth of the daily requirement of vitamin A. Choose nectarines that are deep yellow to red in color without soft spots. Nectarines will ripen at room temperature. The photo to the left is a nectarine that has been cut in half. Some ripe nectarines have more reddish colored flesh. See the nutritional information below.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
