Gooseberry jelly

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the ingredients. To prepare gooseberry jelly we will need: water, gooseberries (green or red or a mixture of varieties), starch and sugar.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sort the gooseberries, remove the stems and rinse thoroughly.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the berries in a saucepan and add 1.4 liters of water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the pan on the stove and bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 5 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Strain the finished compote through a sieve.

6. STEP 6

   

   Rub the gooseberries through a sieve into the strained broth. Throw away the scraps.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add sugar. Mix. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the remaining glass of water over the starch and stir. Usually potato starch is added to jelly, but corn starch can also be used. But it should be taken into account that corn starch thickens less than potato starch, so you need to add about one and a half times more of it.

9. STEP 9

   

   While constantly stirring, pour the diluted starch into the compote in a thin stream, trying to avoid the formation of lumps. Continuing to stir, bring the jelly to a boil. Cook for about 30 seconds, then remove the jelly from the heat.
