--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2  pounds        Apricots -- halved and pitted
   3                    Nectarines -- pitted and
                        skin on
   3      cups          Sugar
     1/4  cup           Lemon juice
   1      teaspoon      Ground cinnamon
   3                    Cinnamon sticks
                        Combine apricots -- nectarines, sugar an
          in            
                        Medium pan over medium-high -- heat, stirring
until
                        Dissolves.  Continue cooking -- until jam
thickens,
  30                    To 35 minutes.

If you're leery of making jam because you don't want to go to the
trouble of canning, consider this easy-to-make freezer jam. Cook the
fruit with sugar and spice, spoon it into freezer containers and put it
away. A few months down the road you'll be very glad you did. Remove
from heat and stir in cinnamon.  Pour jam into plastic freezer
containers and place cinnamon stick in center of each. Let stand until
cool.  Cover jam and store in freezer. Makes about 3 2/3 cups.
