Nectarines with Vanilla Yogurt and Grand Marnier

This simple and refreshing Nectarine Dessert is a great end to any summer meal. A particularly good follow up to any number of Mediterranean Recipes.

Note that you’ll need to strain the yogurt a day ahead. I think Greek brandy, like Metaxa, would be nice here in place of the Grand Marnier, but I haven’t tried it. If you do, I’d love to hear how it is.

Nectarines with Vanilla Yogurt and Grand Marnier

You can buy Greek-style vanilla yogurt and skip the straining step. A sprinkle of minced fresh mint would be nice here.
