Peach Marmalade
| 1 med orange |
1 lemon |
| ¼ cup of water |
3 lbs (1.4 kg) peaches |
| 1 box MCP powdered fruit pectin |
5 cups sugar |
Cut the orange and lemon into quarters, and remove the
seeds. Then take the quarters and either slice them in ¼ inch slices or paper
thin, whichever suits you.
Combine the citrus fruit and water. Cover, and simmer for 20
minutes.
Peel, pit and chop, or grind the peaches.
Place all the fruit in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to
a full rolling boil. Stir in the sugar until it is dissolved and then
again bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard, uncovered for 1 full minute.
Remove from the heat and quickly skim off the foam. Pour or
ladle into hot, pre sterilized jars, leaving a ¼ inch headspace. Adjust the
lids.
Process in a hot water bath for 15 minutes for half pint
jars.
Makes 7 or 8 half pint jars.
