Ingredients

1 ½ cups granulated sugar
5 tablespoons instant powdered pectin (I used Ball)
3 ½ cups small diced nectarines (do not peel)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
dash of ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
½ cup frozen wild blueberries

Instructions

Combine the sugar and pectin in a large mixing bowl. Add the nectarines, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste. Stir to combine, then continuing stirring for 3 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved. Gently fold in the wild blueberries.
Spoon the jam into jars leaving a ½ inch space at the top to allow for expansion when frozen. Seal and set aside for 30 minutes before freezing.
Jam will stay delicious for up to 1 year in the freezer or 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
