Busy with Berries

This time of year is just perfect in every way.  The garden is growing, the sun is shining, the days are long, and it's time to begin making jam.  I find such a feeling of accomplishment each summer as I put away jam for the upcoming year.  I always begin with strawberries.  And don't these strawberries look like they will be the perfect candidates for my first batch?


They were perfect indeed!!

Yummy! I so need to get busy with making some for ourselves. I don't think there is anything better than homemade jam.

I have never made jam but am hoping to this summer. I would like to go berry picking and peach picking with the children then make pies and jams. What is your recipe? I should look and see if you have posted one before.

All the red is beautiful!
