How to Make Nectarine Jam
- Combine 4 cups chopped nectarines (do not peel), 2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Maintain a gentle simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in your choice of spices: 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 tablespoon brandy extract, or a combination of your favorites.
- Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has risen to the surface.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
