Gooseberry jam - 7 cooking recipes

But in winter, pride will awaken in the tasty result of heroic efforts. For it you need a slightly under-ripe berry (over-ripe will turn into jam when cooked). It is washed, the tails are removed (to leave the peel without breaks), dried, sprayed with vodka, put in the freezer, and after half an hour - in the refrigerator overnight (for about 12 hours). This is a homemade recipe to prepare for any “rolling” of this bushy fruit. Boil syrup. Each berry is pricked and placed into boiling caramel liquid. When it boils, drain, cool, and so on in a circle several times. Store in sterile jars. Add vanilla if desired. If you know the basic homemade gooseberry jam recipe, you can experiment. A piece of walnut or half an almond is placed in each gooseberry fruit. Other sweets are added to the preparation - apple, pear, kiwi, orange and lemon. If you know that it will be sour, increase the sweetness. Jam and marmalade made from it are also popular. It is also added to salads (both sweet and savory), made into jelly and used in wine production.
