This simple and refreshing dessert is a great end to any summer meal, but especially a Meze. 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, let me know how it is.

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

Course: Dessert

Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

• 2 cups vanilla yogurt we like Brown Cow whole milk vanilla
• 4 nectarines pitted and cut in 1-inch chunks
• 4 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange flavored liqueur

Instructions

1. Line a colander with two layers of cheese cloth and set it over a bowl large enough to capture any liquid that drains. Pour in yogurt. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

2. Divide nectarine chunks between 4 dessert bowls or ramekins; drizzle 1 tablespoon of Grand Marnier over fruit in each bowl.

3. Top each bowl with a generous dollop of strained vanilla yogurt and serve.
