I like nothing better than home-made jam on my toast in the morning, so late summer and early autumn in our house is always a hive of activity.  We try to stock up for the year on jams and chutneys.  Once my children are asleep I get the pan out and the house is filled from top to bottom with the smell of cooking fruit.  So far this year we have made the following jams: apricot (my favourite), raspberry & rose, greengage & vanilla, rhubarb rose & cardamom, plum orange & cardamom, strawberry, hibiscus jelly. The cupboard is beginning to look satisfyingly full.
