Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. Sugar
  2. four pounds of fruit
  3. a pint of water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Take the large gooseberries, pick off the stems and blossoms, give them their weight in sugar;
  2. put them in the kettle alternately, with the sugar, and pour over them a pint of water to four pounds of fruit;
  3. let them boil gently till the scum arises;
  4. when this is taken off, let them cook faster;
  5. when clear, take them up on dishes, and boil the syrup longer.
