Quarter the nectarines and rub with a little oil to coat.

Place on grill or griddle for a couple minutes per side until marked.
Transfer to a baking sheet or cutting board and brush with the liqueur, if desired.

Place on slice of pound cake on a plate.
Cover with a spoonful of nectarines, some of the fruit syrup and a dollop of cream.
