Nectarines-- I can remember as far back as 8 or 9 years old, climbing my grandmothers tree and collecting barrels of them. Grabbing one with both hands and taking a bite, as the juice ran down my chin and neck. Then my mother taking them home and we would cut and cut and cut for hours in the hot summer. We complained all day. When winter came, she would pull out those canned jars that we complained so heavily about and eating them not only tasted good but would bring back those days of summer. So here I am canning the same fruit that brought me so much joy.
