This is one of the trees I pruned this year. It REALLY made a difference. I bet last year we got maybe 40-50 nectarines total. We ate some of them and I had enough to make a cobbler.
This year was different.
This year I had two big red bowls full.
PLUS this big metal bowl full. This bowl is quite a bit larger than my wok, to give you an idea of the size.
I treated them like peaches and cooked them down for jam.
It turned out really pretty, I think. It's pretty tart, though. I like tart stuff, so I'm good with that. The kids, not so much. More for me! :)

I didn't even know it was peach/nectarine season already! Beautiful canning!
It's funny, Katie, the nectarines are done already but the peaches are still solid green. Not a speck of ripeness on them anywhere! Last year the peaches followed the nectarines within a few days but it's going to be different this year.
Fantastic! I love things on the tart side too :)
Makes me think of the nectarine tree in the yard next door where I grew up! So, so, so delicious. My mouth is actually watering right now thinking of your slightly tart nectarine jam on toast! Mmmm, mmmm-good!
Where are ya kid??
