Peach & Strawberry Jam

I've started filling my pantry with all the tastes of summer.  And what better way to start a cloudy morning with a little bit of sunshine on my plate with the sweet tastes of peaches and strawberries.

Peach & Strawberry Jam

6 peaches, peeled and chopped
3 cups strawberries, quartered and mashed
1 box fruit pectin
6 cups sugar

In a large saucepan, cook strawberries and peaches.  In a small pan, cook pectin in 3/4 cup water.  Bring to a rolling boil for 1 minute stirring constantly.  Add to fruit mixture and bring to a rolling boil, also for 1 minute.  Add in sugar and allow the heat to come back up to a rolling boil and you got it, for another minute.  Place in sterilized jelly jars.  Wipe rims to make sure no jam is on the glass.  Place lid and ring on tight.  Turn upside down for 5 minutes and then turn right side up.  As it cools, they should seal on their own.
