Blueberry Nectarine Jam

Recipe from the Jam Workshops offered at the Green Briar Jam Kitchen, Sandwich

2 pounds blueberries
3 cups nectarines, finely chopped
3 cups sugar

Check through blueberries to remove any stems and bad fruit. Wash and place in pan on stove. Add nectarines and sugar to pan. Cook until boiling, then reduce heat and boil moderately until jam is slightly thick and glossy and you can see the bottom of the pan when stirring. Jam will thicken more as it cools. Skim off any foam. Pour into sterilized jars and seal. Yields four to six (in 6-ounce jars)
