Not as mild as peaches - just a little more tart. When done, it's a pretty rosey color. No pectin needed, so it's lower in sugar. Natural pectin is in the nectarine peel... so do not peel them. If you must peel them - you will have to add pectin to the recipe (and more sugar). Ingredients:
6 cups chopped nectarines, do not peel |
3 cups sugar |
4 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon spices, of your choice |
Directions:
1. Cook all ingredients at a very mild boil for 30-minutes.
2. *At this point you can add optional spices of your choice such as 1 teaspoons cinnamon, almond extract, or ground ginger, or 1 tblsp. brandy extract; or any favorite combination. Cook for 5 minutes more.
3. Skim foam off surface.
4. Ladle into sterilized jars.
5. Process in boiling water bath for 10-mins.
