How to choose
I like my nectarines to be a little firm, I don’t like it too juicy.  They can be a little more firm than their yellow counterpart.

When to eat
Soft all the way around.  When the skins getting wrinkly.  Basically, when you’re looking at it and you’re not sure if you want to eat it is when it’s at its best.

How to store
A little sweeter than the yellow peach.  I keep 2 in the fridge, the rest on the counter, and replace the ones I’ve eaten.

How to prep
I’m a simple guy, I like to eat it when it’s in season.  My girlfriend, she’s surprised me more than ounce with a good baked recipe.
