Jam time 2017

Making jam in August is always a spur of the moment thing. Yesterday's nectarine jam reminded me why I love nectarines. They make the best jam. They seem to have more natural pectin than peaches so they cook up really fast and the flavor is also more distinct. I think I'm through the jams having made strawberry, peach , blueberry and nectarine.  Now I wait for the good apples and make apple butter. And then cranberries for chutney.
