Garden Bounty

June on the BC coast is a month of sunshine and colour. Right now, my garden is full of poppies, roses and strawberries. You want proof?

Above: Bounty from my garden: sweet strawberries and scented flowers!

Now, I am searching through my books for a strawberry jam recipe. I am tempted by the Joy of Cooking version with no artificial pectin. It uses apples instead. So this picture shows you what will go into the jam: strawberries, apples (with their peel) and sugar. Yep, it's going to be good!
