Instructions
- Lightly coat a large nonstick frying pan with nonstick cooking spray and set over medium heat. Sauté the nectarines until they are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until the sugar dissolves and becomes syrupy, about 2 minutes. Transfer the nectarines to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
- Whisk the orange juice and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth, then add 1 cup cold water. Whisk this mixture into the frying pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce boils and thickens, about 2 minutes. Return the nectarines to the frying pan and allow to heat through.
- Toast the waffles in a toaster. Serve 2 waffles per person, topped with about 6 slices glazed nectarines. Serve hot.
