Add cream cheese and beat with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.

Beat in eggs with vanilla until blended. Reduce mixer speed to low, add cream and beat until blended. Pour into pan and spread smooth. 3. Bake 1 hour or until a pick inserted near center comes out clean, but center of cake is still jiggly. Cool in pan on a wire rack (cake will set completely as it cools.) Cover loosely and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days. 4.

Up to 1 hour before serving, run a knife around edges of cake and remove pan sides. Mound peaches in a border on top of cake and fill center with blueberries. 5. Melt jam in a saucepan over low heat or in microwave. Stir through a strainer. Brush over fruit.
