Peach Marmalade

4 1/2 cups prepared fruit (1 orange, 1 lemon, and about 2 pounds ripe peaches)
5 1/2 cups sugar
1 box (1 3/4 oz) powdered fruit pectin

First, prepare the fruit. Cut 1 orange and 1 lemon in quarters. Remove seeds. Grind or chop fine. Add 1 cup water and simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Peel and pit about 2 pounds fully ripe peaches. Chop very fine or grind. Combine fruits and measure 4 1/2 cups into a very large saucepan.

Then make the marmalade. Measure sugar and set aside. Add powdered fruit pectin to fruit in saucepan and mix well. Place over high heat and stir until mixture comes to a hard boil. Cook gently 1 minute. At once stir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil, and boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off foam with metal spoon. Then stir and skim by turns for 5 minutes to cool slightly, to prevent floating fruit. Ladle quickly into glasses. Cover at once with 1/8-inch hot paraffin. Yields about 10 medium 8 ounce glasses.
