A new and distinct nectarine variety of Prunus persica named ‘NJN101’ is provided. This variety is distinguished from other nectarine varieties by its unique combination of showy flowers, fruit that ripen in early-season, glossy fruit with an attractive red over color and orange red ground color, clingstone fruit with a juicy, melting texture and sweet, moderately acidic flavor, and excellent production of firm fruit that maintain their eating quality following cold storage.
