Here is a marmalade recipe with a difference. It is an orange and peach marmalade.
Traditionally orange marmalade is sweet tart. This recipe adds an extra measure of sweetness with the addition of several peaches.
Actually the recipe is more peach than orange. The orange is added for a slightly different taste.
This is an interesting mix of flavors. When picked at their peak of ripeness, peaches are soft and oh so sweet. They are one of my favorite summer fruits.
To peel the peaches easily, drop them into boiling water for about 30 seconds. The skin should peel easily with a knife.
Marmalade is not usually one of my favorite jams, but with peaches added, it’s on my list of must haves.
Give this marmalade recipe a try. I think you will really love it.
Orange and Peach Marmalade
Ingredients
- 24 peaches
- 3 oranges
- 10 cups sugar
Instructions
- Peel the peaches and cut them into small pieces. Finely shred 1 orange skin and add it to the peaches. Cut the oranges into small pieces and chop fine. Add the sugar.
- Cook 45–60 minutes on medium heat. Store in sterilized jars.
- Makes about 6 small jam jars.
Tips:
- This recipe can easily be multiplied to make as many jars as you want.
- This recipe is older. Today’s health and safety standards would probably call for this recipe to be processed in a boiling water bath for 15 to 20 minutes if you want to keep it a long while.
- Make sure your jam jars are sterilized. If they are not, the marmalade could spoil fairly quickly. You don’t want to go through all of that effort and have it spoil.
