Canning Peach Nectar Recipe

When we can peaches some of the pears have bad spots. We peel them and pare away the bad spots. We set them aside for use in nectar. Of course you can just make nectar of all of them if you wish. For each quart of fruit add 1-cup water.

You can put them through either a food processor or a blender depending on how smooth you want it to be. Add sugar to your taste if desired. We sometimes add cinnamon and/or allspice.

Bring puree to a boil. Stir to prevent sticking.

Ladle into hot jars leaving 1/4 head space. Remove bubbles.

Adjust 2-piece lids. Process pints and quarts 15 minutes in water bath or steam canner. We use a Steam Canner.
