Peach Orange Jam

Submitted by Dienia B.

"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."

 

• Ready In: 8hrs
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 10 1/2 pints

ingredients

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

directions

1. Run peaches through a chopper. I think that you would blanch, peel and pit the peaches before running them through chopper.
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).
3. Add cherry juice to the peaches, oranges, and sugar.
4. Cook, stirring constantly, I am guessing this will burn easily.
5. Cook until thick.
6. When nearly done, add chopped cherries.
7. Bring to a boil.
8. Put in small jar and cover with paraffin wax (I said this was old recipe).
9. Another recipe had you water bathing for 10 minutes to seal; check Ball book.
