Well, it's peach season and that means there are two things you must make before the peaches leave us.  The first thing is Peaches and Cream Pie with Sugar Cookie Crust.  I make this once a year.  Best day of the year.  The other thing you must make is this peachberry freezer jam.  My friend Klixi brought this to us at Christmas time with a dozen warm rolls.  Second best day of the year.  This jam is so delicious and easy to make.  Even a toddler can do it!
8 C Peaches peeled, and mashed
1 1/2 c raspberries, mashed
1 c  blackberries, mashed
6 C Sugar
2 - 6 oz pkgs of Raspberry  Jell-O 
8-10 freezer containers 
Our berries were really seedy, so I followed Nicole's Jam Champion Advice and drained off half of the seeds.  I did not, however, follow her advice to not wash the berries and mine was a bit runny, just as she predicted.  Duh.  Always listen to a Jam Champion.
Mix peaches, raspberries, and  sugar in a large saucepan. Cook until sugar dissolves, about 10-15 minutes once  warm. Add Jello-O and bring to a hard boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes. Pour  into containers and put into the freezer.
