Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Prepare grill & cover to build an intense heat. Remove nectarine pits & slice each one into 6 slices. Combine sugar, zest, lemon juice in a small bowl. Place 6 nectarine slices on a skewer & place on grill. Cook 5 minutes, turn & baste with glaze. Cook & baste for another 7 minutes.
  2. When fruit is just about done, toast cake slices on a cooler part of the grill, turning once. Serve toasted cake with grilled nectarines & handfuls of blueberries.
