Super quick and delicious gooseberry jam. J got the recipe from my neighbour who, in turn, received it in the'40s from an old German lady whose hobby was making preserves. It's the best recipe ever !!!
Ingredients:
125 ml water
500 g sugar
1kg gooseberries (trimmed and washed)
- Bring the water and sugar to a vigorous boil. Add the gooseberries and boil stirring constantly until the mixture begins to boil vigorously. Boil on high for about 60 minutes until it begins to thicken and you can see that the jam begins to set.
- To test the consistency place a saucer in the freezer for 5 minutes, take it out and drop some jam on top of it. Wait until the jam cools down. If you see that the jam has set you can fill the jars.
- Pour into sterilised jars, screw the lids on tightly and cover the jars with a warm blanket.
- Remove the blanket after a few hours when the jam cools down.
Enjoy !
