TreeHouse Point is fortunate to have a crew of brilliant breakfast chefs who use local and seasonal ingredients to cook up and can wholesome delicacies. With such talent in the kitchen, it’s no wonder guests frequently ask for the recipes behind many of TreeHouse Point’s dreamy dishes. Today, we’re sharing the recipe for one of the retreat’s most popular treats.
Served at breakfast at TreeHouse Point, this homemade nectarine jam is delectable on biscuits, breads, and even cheese. A pinch of woody sage perfectly accentuates the sweetness of ripe nectarines, making for an irresistible jam that embodies the flavors of early autumn.
Join chefs Megan and Fara as they show you how to make your very own nectarine jam.

The sage came from TreeHouse Point’s very own herb garden, built by carpenters at Nelson Treehouse and Supply.
Chef Megan rolls lemons before slicing to release more juice. The lemon acts as a natural preservative and stabilizer, and adds a bit of tanginess!
Self-described canning enthusiasts Megan and Fara have fun cooking up new breakfast delicacies at TreeHouse Point.
