No-Sugar Cinnamon Nectarine Jam with Pineapple

[Guest guest]

NO-SUGAR CINNAMON NECTARINE JAM WITH PINEAPPLE

 

3 pounds fresh nectarines

3 (6-ounce) cans unsweetened pineapple juice

1 cinnamon stick

 

Rinse and cut flesh from nectarines with skin attached. Cut into 1/2-

inch dice. Combine nectarine pieces with pineapple juice and

cinnamon in a heavy, non-reactive 4-quart saucepan. Cover and bring

liquid to a boil; uncover and simmer over medium heat until jam has

thickened. This will take 15 to 20 minutes. As mixture reduces,

begin to stir more frequently to prevent

sticking.

 

Off heat, remove cinnamon stick. Fill hot, sterilized jars to within

1/4-inch of the lips. Wipe rims clean, attach new lids, and screw

caps on tightly. Process in a boiling water bath, submerged by 1

inch, 10 minutes.

 

Makes 4 1/2 cups.
