Nectarine Confiture
For all the sweet tooths out there — a little jar of nectar to warm you through the cold winter. This confiture is wonderfully fragrant and sweet with a gentle tang. Give it a try: it's delicious and delicate, and comes together quickly and easily.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
First, peel the nectarines (I use a regular vegetable peeler — just make sure they aren't too soft).
-
Step 2:
Cut the flesh off the pits and purée it in a blender.
-
Step 3:
Pour the purée into a saucepan and add 150 g of the sugar, the juice of half a lime, and the seeds scraped from half a vanilla bean (you can skip the vanilla, or use a sprig of mint or thyme instead — but I prefer vanilla).
-
Step 4:
Bring the mixture to a boil.
-
Step 5:
Mix the pectin with the remaining sugar and slowly sprinkle it into the boiling jam, stirring constantly. Keep stirring and cook for about 2 more minutes.
-
Step 6:
Ladle the confiture into sterilized jars and seal tightly (this batch made me two jars of about 350 and 225 ml, plus a little extra to enjoy right away). Store in a cool, dark place. Enjoy!
