Peel nectarines. This is most easily done with a Y-style vegetable peeler. Don’t worry about getting every tiny bit of skin off. After peeling, cut all of the flesh off from around the pit. Chop flesh and add to a saucepan. Add honey and water. Cook nectarines over medium-low heat with a lid on until very soft, about 10-12 minutes.
Remove nectarines from the heat, add liqueur if using (optional), and puree the fruit in a Vitamix or blender until very smooth. Pour into a stainless steel or glass bowl. Place in an ice bath to chill quickly. Stir occasionally to help the base cool faster. Stirring helps the heat release. When cold, place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until totally cold. This will help the sorbet churn faster.
When totally chilled, pour the nectarine base into ice cream and churn according to manufacturer directions. After churning, allow the sorbet to set up in the freezer for about an hour before serving. if it is in the freezer for a few hours or even overnight (made ahead), allow sorbet to sit out until soft and creamy enough to scoop.
