Ingredients

* See note below.
2 oranges medium
1/2 lemon
2 (16-ounce) packages frozen sliced peaches slightly thawed and chopped*
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple in own juice
3 cups sugar
1 cup walnuts chopped or 1 jar (10 oz.) maraschino cherries, drained and chopped (optional)

Directions:

* You can make four different conserves from this recipe -- one with fruit only, one with nuts and one with cherries. Or add half the nuts and half the cherries to the basic fruit mixture. Shred rind from 1 orange and set aside. Peel oranges and lemon. Chop the pulp from both oranges and the half lemon, being sure that you remove all seeds. Place shredded rind, chopped oranges and lemon with the juice in a heavy Dutch oven or 4-quart saucepan. Add peaches, pineapple with juice and sugar, stirring until blended. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, stirring frequently, or until mixture is the consistency of preserves.

Stir in walnuts or cherries if desired. Spoon into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/2 -inch headspace. Wipe rims, cover and process according to jar manufacturer's directions. Or spoon into desired containers, leaving 1/2 -inch headspace. Cool, cover and refrigerate up to 1 month or freeze up to 3 months.

* If using a food processor, chop small amounts at a time with on-off bursts.

If not processing in canning jars, spoon into glazed earthenware crocks or small jars with airtight lids and place in a wooden crate with straw. Overwrap with cellophane.
