And okra and brussels sprouts really love roasting, too! Roasting is my very favorite way to cook asparagus. And okra and brussels sprouts really love roasting, too!

I have never tried it myself, just thought I'd pass it along. I heard that if you use some under ripe fruit in your jam, it is higher in natural pectin and will set better.

Cherries make a nice rich PB&J consistency without pectin and so do our plums. We haven't tried strawberries though. Your photos are stunning, by the way. Love those shiny red strawberries.

We need to wait another couple of weeks before our June strawberries are ripe. Then it's into the pot and strawberry jam for them, too. I prefer no-pectin jam. It's less sugary and more strawberry-y.

Hooray for summer and strawberries! We bought our first of the season this week, too, but not enough to preserve, only to eat. Beautiful post, Laura. Hooray for summer and strawberries!
