Ingredients:
Directions:
1
Place the peaches into a large bowl
2
Scrub the oranges then chop into pieces - including the peel
3
This is easiest done in a food processor so you don't lose as much juice
4
Transfer to the bowl with the peaches
5
Stir in sugar, cover, and refrigerate overnight
6
The next day, pour the entire contents of the bowl into a large pot
7
Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally
8
Make sure the heat is low enough, or the jam will burn and stick to the bottom of the pot
9
This does not need to come to a rolling boil
10
While the jam simmers, sterilize your jars in boiling water for at least 5 minutes, and keep hot
11
Prepare new lids according to the manufacturer's instructions
12
Ladle the jam into the jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace
13
Wipe the rims with a clean damp cloth or paper towel, and seal with lids and rings
