Nectarines poached in ginger syrup

The smells and flavours from this dish are ridiculously good.

This is such a beautiful way to prepare the nectarines. Using the soaking liquid to gently remove the skins makes the fruit taste amazing and also adds to the flavour of the syrup.

I used nectarines as they were bang in season when writing this, but it would not be too much of a pro
