Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 small orange, washed
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 pounds ripe peaches, peeled and finely chopped (about 4 cups)
  • 1 box (1-3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
  • 5-1/2 cups granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Preparation:

Cut orange in half crosswise and remove any seeds. Cut each half into 4 quarters, then thin-slice into wedges that are 1/4-inch thick, including rind.

Place orange slices, lemon juice, peaches, and fruit pectin into a heavy pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Add sugar and return to a fast boil. Continue to boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and skim off any foam. Stir in cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Pour into sterilized dry jars and seal.

Yield: about 7 half-pints
