2 quarts chopped peaches

Use sharp knife to remove thin yellow part of orange peel. Finely chop rest of orange and add just enough water to prevent sticking. Cook until peel is tender. Put container of rum in hot water. Keep hot, but don’t boil. Wash, drain, peel, coarsely chop, and measure peaches. With exception of rum, mix all ingredients including water in which orange was cooked and boil almost, but not quite, to jellying point. Quickly skim off foam, stir in hot rum. Pour, boiling hot, into hot jars, leaving a 1/4 inch head space. Adjust caps. Process 15 minutes in a boiling water bath canner.
