Go fruit picking in a farm and make homemade jam.

“One of my favorite summer activities is going strawberry picking. I grew up a five-minute drive from a farm in New Jersey [...] The berries were finally at the peak of ripeness, and I could climb up into the hayride wagon and ride out into the fields armed with a bucket and a desire to choose the juiciest, brightest fruit for snacking, baking pies, and even homemade jam. [...] my dad and I still drove over to the farm for a little Father’s Day celebration, and we returned home with more strawberries than we could ever imagine using. [...] my mom grabbed the slow cooker, we bought a packet of pectin, added in some flavoring, and we let the strawberries turn into the most delectable homemade jam I had ever had.”

“In our house, the month of June, strawberry picking, and homemade jam go hand in hand. A few years ago, I tried making a small batch of freezer jam for the very first time. The effort was successful, the jam tasted amazing, and we’ve been picking strawberries, making jam, and looking forward to June and strawberry season ever since.”
