Peach Orange Jam Recipes

PEACH ORANGE JAM

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.

PEACH AND ORANGE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Halve the citrus, squeeze juice into a quart jar; tie seeds into a cheesecloth bag or tea filter.
• Finely shred the orange and lemon peel, put into another bowl; add the seed bag.
• Add enough water to the orange-lemon juice to fill quart to the neck of the jar; pour this over the peel.
• Leave orange-lemon peels & liquid sit overnight.
• Next day, pour peels & liquid into a sauce-pan, simmer for one hour (peel will be very tender).
• Halve the peaches, discard pits; chop into small coarse chunks; add to sauce-pan and simmer for 10-15 minutes (peaches should be soft).
• Measure liquid pulp, and for every 2 cups of pulp, add 2 cups of sugar.
• Return pulp to sauce-pan, bring to a boil; stir in sugar; when dissolved, boil again briskly to 200*F (sea level).
• Remove pan from heat, skim foam; spoon marmalade into hot jars; seal with two-part lids; process in a boiling-water bath for 15 minutes (for sea level).
• Label, store jars in cool-dark place.
