Test Kitchen tips
  • When jars are completely cool, lids should be tightly sealed to jars. When center of lid is pressed, there should be no give or springing motion. If lid springs or gives, the canning process was not successful. Food must be reprocessed immediately or refrigerated and used within 5 days.
  • If you're canning a lot of nectarines, you can pack the hot nectarines in quart-size jars and then process them for 25 minutes.
  • Unlike peaches, nectarines don't really need to be peeled before canning, but feel free to do so if you wish.
