Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
This tiny, simple batch of nectarine jam is made without added pectin. The recipe includes suggestions for increasing the batch size for water bath canning.
Jam isn't normally what you think of when you have a pile of nectarines to use up, but this jam is well worth the effort and will have you dreaming of summer all winter long.
Sometimes you have some nectarines hanging around, and you need to make jam super quick. Well, maybe it happens once a year. But still, you should be prepared!
