Gooseberry Jam

No ratings yet
  • Preserving. Old preserving methods may not make food safe to keep. Use current tested guidance.

Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. four pounds of sugar
  2. a teacupful 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. Pick the gooseberries just as they begin to turn.
  2. Stem, wash and weigh.
  3. To four pounds of fruit add half a teacupful of water;
  4. boil until soft and add four pounds of sugar and boil until clear.
  5. If picked at the right stage the jam will be amber colored and firm, and very much nicer than if the fruit is preserved when ripe.
