Carolina Marmalade
- 5 cups Mashed, Ripe Peaches (About 10 Peaches)
- 1-1/8 cup Orange Juice Concentrate, Thawed
- 7-1/2 cups Sugar
- 18 ounces, weight Certo (or Three 6-ounce Packages)
- 1-1/2 cup Flaked Coconut
- 1 cup Slivered Almonds
- 20 whole Maraschino Cherries, Quartered
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- Combine mashed peaches and orange juice concentrate in a very large pan. Stir in sugar and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in Certo, coconut, almonds and cherries. Return to heat. Skim off foam with a metal spoon. Keep skimming and stirring for seven minutes. Add butter during 7 minutes. Ladle into clean jars and seal. Place marmalade in refrigerator.
- Note: I do not seal these in the typical "canning way." I ladle the jam into CLEAN, STERILIZED jars up to an inch below the top of the jars. Place the lids and rings on then turn the jar over and let it set until cool. When you flip it over you should be able to see the lid is sealed down nice and tight. Then place the jars in the fridge. They keep this way for a long time.
