INGREDIENTS
1 (10-oz) package frozen red raspberries in syrup, thawed


1⁄4 cup sugar


2 Tbsp water


2 ripe nectarines, halved and pitted


1 pt peach sorbet


1⁄2 pt raspberry sorbet


Garnish: fresh raspberries


PREPARATION
1. Purée raspberries in syrup in blender. Scrape through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to discard seeds; set aside.


2. Combine sugar and water in small nonstick skillet and place over medium-high heat. When sugar is dissolved and it starts to boil, add nectarines, cut side down. Continue to boil sugar mixture until it starts to caramelize and turn a deep golden brown, about 6 minutes, swirling pan occasionally. Remove from heat; carefully turn nectarines over and spoon caramel from skillet over cut sides.


3. To serve: Place a scoop of peach sorbet into each of 4 dessert bowls; nestle a nectarine, cut side up, on top of sorbet. Place a mini-scoop of raspberry sorbet in pit cavity of each nectarine.


Drizzle with raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries if desired.
