This orange peach marmalade is made from Summer peaches combined with ripe oranges, dried cranberries and walnuts and seasoned with cinnamon and cloves.
3cupsripe peachespitted, washed and chopped (you don't need to peel them)
2oranges (include the rind of one of the oranges)sliced to fit in the food processor
3 ½cupssugar
¼cupdried cranberries
¼cupwalnut pieces
2cinnamon sticks
6-8whole cloves
Instructions
Add the peaches and the oranges into the food processor and process until the orange rind is ground into small pieces.
Create a cheesecloth spice bundle by placing the cinnamon sticks and the cloves into a cheesecloth. Tie it shut with kitchen twine.
Place the fruit, sugar, dried cranberries, walnuts and spice bundle into a large pot.. Hang the side of the kitchen twine over the side of the pan so that you can easily retrieve it once the marmalade is finished cooking.
Bring the marmalade to a boil and reduce to medium heat. This recipe does not use pectin so we'll need to give it time to thicken. Simmer on a low boil while stirring occasionally, for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the marmalade begins to thicken. Set the marmalade on the counter to cool completely before placing it in the refrigerator, freezing or canning the marmalade.
