BRANDIED NECTARINES (OR PEACHES) 
6 nectarines (or peaches)
3/4 c. sugar
1 c. water
3 tbsp. brandy
Fresh blueberries (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sour cream
1 tbsp. confectioners' sugar
2 tbsp. brandy

Blanch and peel nectarines, pit and cut into quarters. In large saucepan combine nectarines, sugar and water. Bring t a boil and simmer 1 minute. Stir in 3 tablespoons brandy and vanilla. Let stand until room temperature, then chill. Just before serving, arrange fruit in individual dish and if desired add some fresh blueberries to each dish. Combine sour cream, confectioners' sugar, and remaining brandy. Spoon over nectarines. NOTE: When making a larger amount, I triple the number of nectarines and double the amount of all other ingredients.
