4 cups fresh nectarines

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin

1/2 cup cold water

1 cup water

1/3 cup granulated sugar

Wash, peel and cut up into small pieces enough nectarines to

4 cups. Sprinkle

1/4 cup sugar and the lime juice over the

fruit; stir until the fruit is well coated with sugar. Set aside for at

least one hour. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold

water; stir and set aside to soften. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup

1/3 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring. Lower the heat and keep at a slow boil for 5 minutes without stirring. Remove from the heat and pour in the softened gelatin; stir until the

gelatin has melted. Set aside in the refrigerator to cool. Spoon the

sugared fruit into a blender and blend until pureed; pour into a

medium-sized bowl. Remove the sugar water from the refrigerator; pour

into the fruit and stir until well combined. Cover and freeze for 1

hour, or until the mixture becomes icy. Remove from the freezer; uncover

and stir to break up any icy pieces, then beat until smooth. Pour into a freezer container or serving dish. Cover and freeze until firm. Allow
