Nectarines can continue ripening after they are picked, so allow them to ripen at room temperature until they give slightly and then store them in the crisper of the fridge for up to a week.

Try making nectarine popsicles! A sweet summer fruit like nectarines make for a refreshing snack on a hot day. Blend nectarines, a banana, Greek yogurt, and honey and then freeze in popsicle molds or small paper cups overnight.
