Method
- Mix together the honey, amaretto and vanilla extract, then add the nectarines. Toss well, then cover and marinate for at least 2 hrs or overnight.
- Pour the marinating liquid into a pan, then simmer over a low-medium heat for 5-8 mins until thickened and syrupy. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Beat the mascarpone with an electric whisk until light and fluffy, pour in most of the amaretto syrup, then whisk again until silky smooth. Preheat a griddle pan over a high heat: once hot, griddle the nectarines in batches, cut-side down, for 3 mins or until lightly charred.
- Pile the mascarpone onto a serving platter and spread out using the back of a spoon. Arrange the nectarines on top and spoon over the remaining syrup. Scatter with the crushed amaretti biscuits, plus the toasted flaked almonds and mint leaves to serve, if you like.
