Nectarine Tarte Tatin. Last but not least, this upside-down tart is commonly made with apples but other fruits also work well – such as pears, plums, nectarines or peaches. It’s very easy to make, but you need to have the courage to let the nectarines caramelise, so let them cook slowly for enough time so that their juices blend with the butter and sugar. You will also need a bit of courage to flip the tart over. You will need a 20cm (8 inch) frying pan that has an ovenproof handle. Nectarine Tarte Tatin. Oh so yummy, indeed.
