Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 lb Large nectarines (unpeeled
And sliced) - 8 cups
3 c Sugar
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
2 c Raspberries (1 pint)

Combine the nectarines with the sugar and lemon juice
and let stand, covered, overnight in the refrigerator.
Place a colander in a large shallow preserving pan and
pour in the nectarine mixture. Let the juices drip
into the pan for at least 30 minutes. Remove the
colander with the fruit to a bowl and bring the juices
in the pan to a boil over high heat. Boil rapidly for
20 to 30 minutes, or until reduced by half. Add the
nectarines and any additional juices to the syrup in
the pan and continue to cook voer high heat for 10
minutes. Carefully stir in the raspberries and cook
for 5 minutes more. The nectarines will look lightly
glazed and the syrup will be only slightly thickened.
Ladle the preserves into hot sterilized jars, wipe the
rims clean with a damp towel, and seal with new lids
and metal rings. Process in hot-water bath for 5
minutes. Remove, cool, check seals, label, and store.
Makes 8 half-pint jars.
