  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.
