Peach Raspberry Jam
"Back when my children were young, I put up about 100 jars of jams and jellies each summer, including this freezer version," notes Mrs. Donn White form Wooster, Ohio. "Although I don't make that many now, I do stir up a batch to give to neighbors at Christmastime."40 ServingsPrep: 10 min. Cook: 10 min. + standing
