The following recipe has been tested and edited by SBS Food and may differ slightly from the podcast.

Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan, excluding the sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Remove the nectarines, cinnamon quill and cloves and transfer to a bowl. Place the liquid on the stove over high heat and add the sugar. Stir well. Cook for a further 5 minutes, until the liquid reduces slightly and thickens.

Pour over the nectarines and serve with honey yoghurt on the side.
