Peach Orange Jam
Recipe: #16904
January 22, 2015
"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.
