Yummy jam

I started branching out on what I did with the peaches and tried this recipe yesterday.  It's pretty and it tastes really good!

Blushing Peach Jam 

4 C crushed peaches

¼ C chopped maraschino cherries

1 pkg dry pectin

5 ½ C sugar

Mix first 3 ingredients in large pan. Bring to boil. Add sugar all at once. If desired, add ½ tsp of butter to reduce foaming. Bring to hard rolling boil that can not be stirred down. Boil for 4 minutes, remove from heat. Ladle into jars, leaving ¼ inch head-space. Process for 10 minutes in boiling water bath.
