Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 Nectarines, Firm And Ripe
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
8 Ounces Raspberries
1/2 Cup Contreau Or Grand Mariner

Slit nectarine skins with a sharp knife and plunge fruit into boiling
water for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and peel. Halve and
remove stones. Combine sugar with 1/2 cup water in a saucepan and stir
over heat, without boiling, until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and
cook until golden. Remove from heat and, protecting your hand from
steam, stir in 1 1/2 cups extra water. Stir over low heat until smooth
and well combined, remove from heat, add raspberries and stand for 5
minutes. Process until smooth. Return to saucepan and bring to medium
boil.

Reduce heat, add nectarines and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly
poached. Pack nectarines into sterilized jars. Stir Cointreau into
raspberry syrup and pour over fruit. Seal while hot and refrigerate for
up to 2 weeks before using. Serve at room temperature with chilled
mascarpone and crisp wafer biscuits, if desired.
