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).
Cook all ingredients at a very mild boil for 30-minutes.
*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.
