Yesterday I picked the last of our gooseberries. I love gooseberry jam for a number of reasons....the main one being I'm the only one who will eat it so I can guarantee that there will be jam available for ME when I want it!
Not many, hoping I will have enough to make a pot of jam.
'Top & Tail' the gooseberries.
Weigh them.
Put in a saucepan with a little water - just enough so that they are not quite covered. Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes until the gooseberries are soft, but still hold their shape.
Add an equal amount of sugar and stir until dissolved
Once the sugar has dissolved bring to a boil and rapid boil for 10 minutes.
Test for setting point.
Pour into a sterilized jar and seal.
One pot of gooseberry jam!
Now just need to make the scones!
