Simple and original gooseberry jam recipes

Preparatory process

There are many recipes for gooseberry jam made with a variety of ingredients. Often, even the name of the product depends on the composition. So, for example, gooseberry jam with the addition of cherry leaves and spinach is called emerald. And in the royal jam, all the most delicious ingredients were collected at all. You can also make a dessert with citrus fruits - with lemon or orange.

Despite the variety of recipes, for each type of this dessert you will need to prepare gooseberries in the same way:

1. First of all, we sort out the collected berries. This is necessary in order to weed out berries with mechanical damage, crumpled, rotten or stained.
2. From each berry, you must carefully cut (or pluck) the tail.
3. Each berry is pricked with a toothpick or a regular needle.
4. During the cooking process itself, do not forget to regularly remove the foam.
5. The berries are usually harvested before they are fully ripe. There is an opinion that such berries retain more nutrients. However, nothing bad will happen if you neglect this rule.
