Recipe - Low Sugar Baked Stone Fruit Jam

2 cup Ripe peaches; nectarines,
plums, or apricots
2/3 cup Sugar
3 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice

If using peaches, immerse in boiling water to cover for 1520 seconds. Cool
under cold water and slip skins off.

Cut fruit from pits and coarsely chop. In a 10 x 15 inch baking pan mix
fruit, sugar, and lemon juice.

Bake, uncovered, in a 375 F oven until fruit releases juices, about 10
minutes. Put ceramic saucer in the freezer.

Reduce oven temp to 325 F. Every 20 minutes or so, gently stir fruit to
moisten with juices. Bake fruit until a little liquid spooned onto the
chilled saucer leaves a clear track when the tip of a spoon is drawn
through it. This takes about 1 One half hours. Adjust consistency of jam if
necessary (see preceding recipe).

Spoon hot jam into sterilized jars. Cover with sterilized lids. Cool and
refrigerate. Makes about 2 cups.
