Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups fresh nectarines
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup water
1/3 cup granulated sugar

Wash, peel and cut up into small pieces enough nectarines to
measure 4 cups. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar and the lime juice over the
fruit; stir until the fruit is well coated with sugar. Set aside for at
least one hour. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold
water; stir and set aside to soften. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup
water with 1/3 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring.
Lower the heat and keep at a slow boil for 5 minutes without stirring.
Remove from the heat and pour in the softened gelatin; stir until the
gelatin has melted. Set aside in the refrigerator to cool. Spoon the
sugared fruit into a blender and blend until pureed; pour into a
medium-sized bowl. Remove the sugar water from the refrigerator; pour
into the fruit and stir until well combined. Cover and freeze for 1
hour, or until the mixture becomes icy. Remove from the freezer; uncover
and stir to break up any icy pieces, then beat until smooth. Pour into
a freezer container or serving dish. Cover and freeze until firm. Allow
the ice to ripen in the refrigerator for 2 to 2 1/2 hours before
serving. Makes 1 1/2 to 2 pints. Penny Halsey
