Nadine bakes

Nectarine tarte tatin served with whipped cream.

My first tarte tatin! 

I followed this recipe, but swapped the pears for nectarines. I only spiced it with cinnamon, and I also left out the brandy because I didn’t want to flambé my kitchen instead.

So it’s basically an upside-down pie, and everything is baked in one pan, which coincidentally saves on washing up ;) Below is a picture of the caramelised nectarines.

In the next picture I’m about to put the pastry on top of the nectarines. Because they don’t sell big slices of puff pastry where I live, I put some small slices together and rolled it into a ball, then flattened it out with a rolling pin. 

I’m quite proud it all went well. Next time I’m going to make the traditional one with apples.
