My great Auntie Doris passed down this old farmhouse recipe, made with very simple ingredients, for a fresh and delicious peach jam. It is wonderful on toast, oatmeal or ice-cream.
12 fresh peaches - peeled
pitted and chopped
4 oranges
6 cups white sugar
Side Dish
Directions
Place the peaches into a large bowl. Scrub the oranges then chop into pieces - including the peel. This is easiest done in a food processor so you don't lose as much juice. Transfer to the bowl with the peaches. Stir in sugar cover and refrigerate overnight.
The next day pour the entire contents of the bowl into a large pot. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook for 2 to 3 hours stirring occasionally. Make sure the heat is low enough or the jam will burn and stick to the bottom of the pot. This does not need to come to a rolling boil.
While the jam simmers sterilize your jars in boiling water for at least 5 minutes and keep hot. Prepare new lids according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ladle the jam into the jars leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims with a clean damp cloth or paper towel and seal with lids and rings. Process according to guidelines suggested by your local extension.
