Nectarine jam for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make jam from nectarines for the winter? Prepare the products. To make jam, take dense fruits, without broken and spoiled places. Wash the nectarines well and cut them in half. Remove the bone from them and cut each half in half again. Inside the nectarine, cut off the part where the bone was.

2. Step 2:

   

   Then cut the nectarines into cubes and put them in a spacious basin.

3. Step 3:

   

   Fill the nectarines with sugar and shake so that the sugar is evenly distributed between the nectarines pieces. Cover the basin with a lid or cling film and leave for a few hours so that the nectarines let the juice. I usually cut them in the evening and leave them standing all night.

4. Step 4:

   

   Then put the bowl on the fire and bring to a boil. Boil the nectarines for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat under the bowl and cool completely.

6. Step 5:

   

   Catch the cooled nectarines with a slotted spoon in another bowl and set aside for a while.

7. Step 6:

   

   Bring the remaining syrup to a boil and cook for 40-50 minutes so that it boils and becomes thicker. Add a little citric acid to the syrup. It will reduce the sweetness of sugar and will serve as an additional preservative when storing jam.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then put the nectarines back into the syrup and bring everything together to a boil. Boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove the foam that will form on top with a slotted spoon.

   Pour the finished jam into sterilized jars and close with sterile lids. For information on how to sterilize cans, read the link at the end of the recipe. Cool the jam completely upside down, wrapped in a blanket. This way you additionally sterilize the caps. Store the jam in a cool, dry place. Have a nice winter tea party!
