  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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
measure 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
water with 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
the ice to ripen in the refrigerator for 2 to 2 1/2 hours before
serving.  Makes 1 1/2 to 2 pints.  Penny Halsey
