1 c. mashed fully ripe bananas (about 3 med. sized)
3 1/4 c. mashed fully ripe peaches (about 2 lbs. peaches, peeled)
1/2 c. drained chopped maraschino cherries
2 tbsp. lemon juice
6 c. sugar
1 box powdered fruit pectin

Put prepared fruit and lemon juice into a large saucepan; mix. Measure sugar into a bowl; set aside. Mix pectin into fruit in saucepan. Stir and cook over high heat until mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Immediately add and stir in the sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil; stirring constantly, boil rapidly 1 minute.

Remove from heat; skim foam with metal spoon and then stir and skim for 5 minutes, to cool slightly and prevent floating fruit. Immediately ladle into sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of top. Seal immediately following manufacturer's directions. About eight (1/2 pint) jars of jam.
