    Good but not my favorite so far - maybe needed a finer grind on my cornmeal

    I’ve made this twice, once with peaches and once with plums. Both were incredible. Peach was yummier but plum was prettier. Will continue to make!

    The brown sugar, nectarine, cornmeal combination was delicious. The sturdiness of the cornmeal keeps the caramel from feeling too sweet or gooey. 1 largish nectarine was enough to cover the bottom.

    Yep, it's cornbread with nectarines on top. It's perfectly tasty, if that's what you're looking for. But for somebody who lives in a part of the U.S. where cornbread is common, it's not as special as some of the other recipes in the book. N.B., my caramel topping didn't set up quite as well as I might have hoped (a lot of unincorporated butter). I added it to the bottom of the pan anyway and the cake came out fine. Most cakes in the book get soft after a few days in the fridge, this one is getting a teeny bit dry but is still going strong.
