Instructions
Warm honey in microwave for 15 seconds. Stir in almond and vanilla extracts.
Pulse amaretti and almonds in food processor until crushed and well combined.
Add butter and pulse until combined and crumbly. Preheat grill to medium.
Lightly brush cut sides of nectarines with honey mixture. Oil grill.
Place nectarines on grill, cut sides down, and cook until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Turn over, spoon about 1/2 Tbsp. topping into each nectarine cavity and grill for about 5 minutes longer, until fruit has softened but still retains its shape.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Madeira, Prosecco
Cookies can be paired with Cream Sherry, Madeira, and Prosecco. Sweet bubbly Prosecco doesn't overwhelm simple sugar or shortbread cookies, a sweet cream sherry complements spiced cookies, and madeira's nutty notes match cookies with nuts perfectly. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
