Cherry-Peach Jam


Title: Cherry-Peach Jam
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

4 c Chopped peaches
1/4 c Chopped maraschino cherries
2 tb Lemon juice
1 Box pectin
5 1/2 c Sugar

Combine the peaches, cherries, lemon juice and pectin in a large pan. Bring
to a boil. Add sugar and a dollop of butter to take care of the foam. Stir
constantly and bring to a boil again (a hard boil that cannot be stirred
down). Stir and boil for one (1) minute. Remove from fire and stir for
several minutes. Fill hot jelly jars (7-8 cups jelly) and top with hot lids
and rings. Put in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. This is not only
delicious, but looks very pretty. I think you could also make this at the
holiday time by buying frozen peaches if you don't have some in your
freezer.
