  • Nectarine

    Produce swap

    1 peach = 1 nectarine (like-for-like by weight)

    Nectarine is a smooth-skinned peach with the same flesh underneath: a medium nectarine (142 g) sits close to a medium peach (150 g), so swap them one for one. Works in cobblers, grills, salsas, and jam. Nectarine skin is thinner and needs no peeling, so skip any blanch-and-peel step.
