Peach Orange Jam Recipe

"This recipe uses peaches, oranges, and maraschino cherries. It's a really old recipe, close to a marmalade. They used a food chopper with this but I think a food processor would be faster. No jar amounts were given so I am guessing. Yield 4 pints"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Run peaches through a chopper. I think that you would blanch, peel and pit the peaches before running them through chopper.

Step 2

Run all oranges through chopper, using rind of one orange. (just the zest; the whole rind will make it bitter; other recipes are using zest from all the oranges; you judge).

Step 3

Add cherry juice to the peaches, oranges, and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, I am guessing this will burn easily. Cook until thick. When nearly done, add chopped cherries. Bring to a boil.

Step 4

Put in small jar and cover with paraffin wax (I said this was old recipe). Another recipe had you water bathing for 10 minutes to seal; check Ball book.
