How do you blanch a nectarine?

Answer:

First take a knife with a sharp point and cut a cross in the skin on the top of the nectrine, then plunge the fruit into boiling water for about one minute, remove and plunge into ice cold water to refresh and stop it cooking, the skin will have shrunk slightly and began to split from the cross you made, you can peel the fruit from here if you want to.
