WOW! I ran out of oranges, so I threw in 1/4 of a lemon sliced real thin. I also didn't peel the peaches. I got impatient waiting for it to cook and threw in a pkg of low sugar pectin after 30 minutes of boiling. Jelled up real nice and what a flavor.

Really lovely flavor. I didn't peel the peaches, just pitted and cut them up into @ 1/2 to 1-inch pieces. Turned out great and will make this again. Thank you.

Totally fabulous. THe orange gives an extra undertone you miss with only peaches.

Yum! This is my second attempt at making jam, and I'm sure glad I tried this recipe. Tastes like summer in a bottle. Used the biggest pot i had and 10 good sized peaches (didn't bother peeling them) and two oranges. The fruit chunks didn't boil down as much as I expected, so next time I may use a food processor to make the chunks smaller as I had to boil for an extra 5 or 10 minutes then use a masher to smoosh the fruit. Either way, the result was 7 jars of happiness. My plan is to give the jars as christmas gifts but it's so good, I know I'll want some for myself. Going out tomorrow to get more peaches for batch number two!
