for me one of the best things about summer is strawberry jam making, and especially strawberry jam because of that tantelisingly sweet sugary strawberry smell your kitchen acquires as it boils along and that glorious jewel like ruby red that fills your jars, i put my filled jars on the window sill so they glow even more - tastes pretty nice too! i read somewhere once to warm the jam sugar in the oven first - helps for a quicker setting time - really works!
Yum! The smells, the jewel-like jars, the taste! Yes, that's summer!
