Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups unpeeled and diced nectarines (about 2 1/2 lb.)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/3 cup minced crystallized ginger
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 (1.75-oz.) package powdered fruit pectin
Preparation
- 1. Stir together all ingredients in a 4-qt. microwave-safe glass bowl.
- 2. Microwave at HIGH 8 minutes (mixture will boil). Stir mixture, and microwave at HIGH 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened. (You're going for the viscosity of pancake syrup here. The mixture will thicken to soft-set preserves after it cools and chills.) Cool mixture completely (about 2 hours). Serve immediately, or cover and chill preserves in an airtight container until ready to serve. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks.
