Peach Marmalade

• 1 small orange
• 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 lbs. peaches
• 1 3/4 package of powdered fruit pectin
• 5 cups sugar

Cut orange and lemon in quarters and remove seeds. Slice orange and lemon quarters crosswise into paper-thin slices. In a medium saucepan, combine fruit slices and water. Cover and simmer the orange and lemon mixture for 20 minutes. Peel, pit and finely chop peaches.

In an 8 quart kettle, add orange and lemon mixture to chopped peaches. Stir in pectin and bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard uncovered for 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim off foam. Pour at once into jars and seal.
