Description
A simple, sun-kissed spread that captures the sweet-tart flavor of ripe nectarines in a few pantry-staple steps.
Ingredients
- 4 cups nectarines, pitted and chopped
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 packet fruit pectin
Instructions
- Place the chopped nectarines, sugar, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil, stirring frequently.
- Add the fruit pectin and continue to boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam from the top.
- Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars and seal. Allow to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
Notes
Use ripe but firm nectarines for the best balance of flavor and texture. Adjust sweetness gradually if trying to cut sugar.
