Peach Orange Marmalade- for Mom

For Mom from Ilga
Ilga’s Peach Orange Marmalade
Mom asked for one of my grandma’s recipes (I have her recipe box). I think I found it.




12 peaches
4 oranges
1 cup water
2 cups sour apples diced
Sugar

Peal and slice peaches. Cut the peel of 2 oranges into shreds. Squeeze the juice from all 4 oranges.

Cook the peaches, apples and orange shreds with the water until tender.

Add juice and measure. Use cup for cup of sugar. Cook until thick.

If my grandmother had written this for me instead of herself, she would have added some more details (like "this takes patience Terie" plus a little more). Cook until thick is a little ambiguous for me, I know what thick is for custard, but for marmalade I only know what is in the grocery store...

I had to add 8 cups of sugar to my mixture, which created a full pot that eventually boiled over. I then took the solids and put them through the food processor, then re-added them to the liquid and cooked it until it was "thick" (but not as thick as custard).

Now I need to get canning jars..
