Mince the garlic cloves and set aside. Dice the peaches into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Halve and pit the cherries, adding them to the bowl. Finely chop the cilantro and set aside. Remove seeds from the jalapeño and chop finely. Finely dice the red onion. Juice the limes and zest one lime, keeping both separate to maintain brightness.
