strawberry nectarine jam

So a few weeks ago, a friend from university posted about strawberry jam.  I made a batch.  And then started looking around at different strawberry jam recipes on the internets, and came  across this one.  G also asked his parents about their jam recipes, since they make some pretty sensational jams.

I then made a couple batches of roasted strawberry jam - strawberries + sugar in a baking dish in a 170C oven for around 45min-1h, food processed, put in a container in the fridge,  and consumed within a week or two.  Yum.

And then I got to thinking... how about other fruits?  I decided to try nectarines.  But I also had strawberries... and I never got around to the nectarine jam.

Chopped up a couple nectarines, didn't bother skinning (roughly 250-275g).  Whole strawberries (roughly equal weight).  Sugar (around 200g).  Pie plate.  170C oven, stir after about 20-25min, total time in the 45-60min range.  Food process.  Makes a pretty full jar + worth of jam... which gets consumed fairly rapidly.

Tasty.

(no photos... my camera has been missing for a  few weeks.  I is sad.  There's an actual finished pair of socks, a half-finished pair of socks, and the beginning of a First Sweater that want to be photographed..)
