Blueberry Peach Merlot Jam

2 cups blueberries
2 cups peaches
1 cup merlot
1 box Sure-Jell pectin
6 cups sugar
2 Tablespoon lemon juice

Drop peaches into boiling water for about 3-5 minutes so skin remove easily. Remove from water and drop into ice water.  Skin, seed, and chop peaches into 1/2" pieces. Add to washed blueberries.  Add merlot, lemon juice, and pectin to fruit.  Follow package directions on pectin when adding sugar.

Skim off foam.  Pour into clean, sterilized jars, wipe rim clean, add lid and ring.

Process in hot water bath 5 minutes.

Yield: 4 pints
