Stewed nectarines

I made these last week as I had a few nectarines that were going a bit soft, plus I had some small ones from my great aunt's tree that weren't very sweet. I just cut them up and put a little bit of sugar and water over them and added awhole cinnamon stick. I let them simmer away for ages, they smelled delicious. I kept them in the fridge and had them for breakfast with yoghurt. Nom nom. I have since repeated the process with plums. I can't believe I had never done this myself before, so easy and tasty and such a good way to use up fruit that has gone a bit soft or that doesn't taste nice enough to eat as is.
