One of the best things about summer is eating fresh strawberries. The season is so short and abundant that the best thing to do with extras is preserve them for the cold months ahead. It seems a shame to see all the beautiful shape and colour and natural goodness get mashed and drowned in sugar but hey, come winter, it won’t seem so bad. Here they are, marching up to sacrifice themselves for our snacking  pleasure .  They look happy, don’t you think?
