Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- 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.

Too syrupy? Once fruit is transparent (ready), transfer it with a slotted spoon to another bowl. Simmer on LOW, the syrup until thickened to your preference. Place fruit back in, stir and brin...

The bad news is that the mixture never thickened like jam usually does. It just stayed runny. The good news is that now I have some delicious peach syrup for pancakes,waffles,and ice cream. I gu...

Followed the recipe but added 3 very tart apples and simmered gently for 2 1/2 hours. Peeled the oranges though as I didn't want marmelade. Tested the jam by taking a spoonful on a cold plate ...

Nice fresh-tasting jam. Really easy to make and not too overpoweringly like marmalade. My family really liked it.

The Jam set well, no issues there. I read somewhere that if you cook it too long, it will not turn out well. I cooked it for about 45 mins to 1 hour. Set perfectly. What I wasn't crazy about was...

I make this all the time, I also add one lemon. I put all the fruit through a meat grinder and it comes out wonderful. One of my favorite jams.
