    Nectarine Jam


    Source of Recipe


    kraft

    List of Ingredients




    4-1/2 cups prepared fruit (buy about 3 lb. fully ripe nectarines)
    2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
    6 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl
    1 box SURE.JELL Fruit Pectin
    1/2 tsp. butter or margarine

    Recipe



    BRING boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
    PIT and finely chop nectarines. Measure exactly 4-1/2 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-quart saucepot. Stir in lemon juice.

    STIR pectin into prepared fruit in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming, if desired. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.

    LADLE immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with 2-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)
