Try It With: Sweet potato biscuits, blueberry pancakes, or praline ice cream. Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups unpeeled and diced nectarines (about 2 1/2 lb.) |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1/3 cup minced crystallized ginger |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 (1.75-oz.) package powdered fruit pectin |
Directions:
1. Stir together all ingredients in a 4-qt. microwave-safe glass bowl.
2. Microwave at HIGH 8 minutes (mixture will boil). Stir mixture, and microwave at HIGH 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened. (You're going for the viscosity of pancake syrup here. The mixture will thicken to soft-set preserves after it cools and chills.) Cool mixture completely (about 2 hours). Serve immediately, or cover and chill preserves in an airtight container until ready to serve. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks.
