Nectarine Butter

10 cups chopped, pitted nectarines
4 cups sugar - be sure to use cane sugar not beet sugar

Cook at a gentle boil at medium heat for 1 hour 15 minutes.

Take the pot off the stove and puree mixture with a hand blender until very smooth.

Cook about another 30 minutes.

Note to self: This is the time when it will stick and burn. Don't go wandering off, stay close and stir frequently.

The butter will be ready when you place a small amount on a plate and no water seeps out. It should be rich, smooth and dark.

See instructions for preparing and filling jars.

After filling jars, return to a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. Take out and allow to cool. Jars should seal within the hour.

Yield: 9 8-oz jars
