June is Strawberry time here in
Michigan. I love to go out early in the morning and pick my berries.
Make your jam right away when you get home. Jam is so good when you have the
best berries you can find and tastes nothing like what you buy at the store.
Make extra jams and jellies and they make a wonderful homemade gift basket.
