Strawberry Fields Forever

 
 
Last year I made a summer "to-do" list and nothing says summer more than strawberry picking. I can't actually remember the last time I went to a P.Y.O orchard, but I know I'll be making sure I get to one every summer season. I found an organic farm just outside of Melbourne, Ladybird Organics and had an amazing time picking and sampling the sweetest strawberries. Making home-made jam was, not only great fun, but satisfying too. I adapted this recipe, which incorporates a slight twist adding rosemary and balsamic vinegar. I loved using berries whole and the jam is absolutely delicious. I enjoyed wrapping each jar up in gingham and twine and giving it to family for Christmas presents.
