Ingredients
- 4 large ripe nectarines about 440 g, chopped, stones removed
- 360 g granulated white sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Chop nectarines and remove the stones. Place in a large bowl.
- Add sugar and lemon juice. Stir well, cover, and let sit overnight.
- The next day, pour mixture into a saucepan and gently heat until sugar dissolves.
- Lightly mash the fruit with a potato masher.
- Place clean jars and lids in the oven at 135°C (Gas Mark 1) to sterilize.
- Bring mixture to a rolling (not rapid) boil. Cook until the temperature reaches 105°C or passes the wrinkle test.
- Let jam stand a few minutes, then pour into hot jars. Seal and allow to cool.

Notes
For chunkier jam, mash the fruit lightly. Add vanilla or cinnamon for flavor twists. Nectarine jam is great on toast, biscuits, or yogurt.
