This is SO yummy! The nice touch of the maraschino cherries gives it a nice taste and makes the jam pretty as well. This looks wonderful in gift baskets!

Time 35m

Yield 7 half pint jars, 112 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups peaches, chopped fine (about 2.5 lbs)
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup maraschino cherry, chopped
1 (2 ounce) package pectin (MCP brand)
5 1/2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • In a large kettle, combine peaches that have been washed, peeled, pitted and chopped with pineapple, lemon juice and cherries.
  • Add pectin and mix together.
  • Over medium high heat, bring to a boil stirring constantly.
  • Add the sugar all at once, mix well and return to a full rolling boil, adding 1/2 tsp butter if needed to reduce foaming.
  • When it reaches the full rolling boil, boil for 4 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and continue to stir for a couple minutes. If need be, skim foam off the top. Pour into hot jars.
  • If needed wipe edge of jars and then put lids and rings on. Get them as tight as you can by hand and turn upside down. Set timer for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, turn right side up and let sit in an area free from drafts until cooled.
  • If desired you can water process. Either way if the jar does not seal, put it in the fridge and use it first.
