Fresh Peach Pound Cake

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon rum extract
½ cup sour cream
1 (3-ounce) package peach-flavored gelatin
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups chopped fresh peaches

Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and rum extracts.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream and gelatin; set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating well to combine. Fold in sour-cream mixture and peaches. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 1 hour. Cover loosely with foil to prevent excessive browning, and bake for an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes; remove to wire rack and cool completely.
