Greek Jams, Jellies, and Marmalades

Greek cooking relies heavily on seasonal fruits and when the season arrives, jams, marmalades, and jellies are home cooking favorites.

A simple and easy recipe for a delicious jam made with ripe summer nectarines, sugar, vanilla, brandy, and a touch of lemon juice.
