Peach Orange Jam image

This recipe uses peaches, oranges, and maraschino cherries. 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.

Categories     Oranges

Time 8h

Yield 10 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 4

18 peaches
5 oranges
8 cups sugar
1 (6 ounce) bottle maraschino cherries

Steps:

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