This still gets rave revues from everyone. I modify it sometimes. See Tips This recipe serves

Ingredients

3½ cups crushed ripe peaches Peaches, raw
½ cup minced oranges Oranges, raw, all commercial varieties
2 tbsp lemon juice Lemon juice, raw
7½ cups fine granulated sugar Sugars, granulated
1 cup shredded blanched almonds Nuts, almonds, dry roasted, without salt added
1 cup liquid Pectin (Certo)

Method

Step 1

Peel peaches, chop very finely and measure carefully. Add minced orange and lemon juice. Measure sugar and stir in well. Bring to a full rolling boil over hottest fire. Stir constantly before and while boiling. Add nuts, boil hard for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the pectin, Allow to stand 5 minutes before bottling, stirring and skimming alternately. This will prevent the fruit from floating. Bottle in hot sterilized jars. Cover with a towel or wax paper and allow to cool. Pour on hot paraffin cover and store.
