Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. two pounds of fruit
  2. Cut
  3. one pound of sugar

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.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Cut a quill into the shape of a toothpick, and remove the seeds from gooseberries by it without breaking the skin.
  2. Clarify sugar, in the proportion of one pound of sugar to two pounds of fruit.
  3. When it boils to the fifth degree (see sugar, p.
  4. 258) throw the gooseberries into it, and take them off almost immediately.
