Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 lb Of nectarines
3 Medium-size oranges
4 1/2 c Of sugar (2 1/4 pounds)

Makes about 4 half-pints. Wash, blanch, peel and pit nectarines; wash
the oranges. Remove the peel from 1 1/2 of the oranges and discard
it. Put the nectarines and the peeled and unpeeled oranges through a
meat grinder. There should be about 4 1/2 cups. Place the fruit in a
preserving kettle, add 4 1/2 cups of sugar and bring slowly to a
boil. Boil rapidly, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, stirring
frequently. Skim off foam with a metal spoon. Ladle into hot,
sterilized jars and seal immediately.

To seal: Fill to within 1/2-inch head room, being sure to first wipe
the rim and threads of the jars with a hot damp cloth to remove all
particles of food, seeds or spices. While contents are hot, cover
with a 1/8-inch layer of paraffin. When paraffin has set, add
another layer of melted paraffin, tilting and rotating the jar to
seal completely.
