Procedure: Sterilize canning jars and prepare two-piece
canning lids according to manufacturer's directions.
To prepare fruit. Sort and wash fully ripe peaches. Remove stems, skins, and pits. Finely chop or
grind the peaches. Remove peel, white portion, and seeds from oranges. Finely chop or grind the pulp.
To make marmalade. Measure the prepared fruit into a kettle. Add remaining ingredients and stir well.
Boil rapidly, stirring constantly, to 9 degrees F. above the boiling point of water, or until the mixture thickens.
