ingredients

  • 1.3kg (3 lb) fresh gooseberries
  • 1.3kg (3 lb) caster sugar
  • 75ml (3 fl oz) liquid pectin (Certo)

preparation method

  1.   Remove blossom and stem ends from gooseberries. Force berries through food mill.
  2.   Measure 4 tea cups of the berry mash into a large pot. Stir in the sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in pectin at once. Skim off any foam with a large metal spoon.
  3.   Sterilise jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Take turns with skimming foam, and stirring the berry mixture for 5 minutes to let it cool slightly. Ladle into hot sterile jars, leaving .5cm (1/4 in) headspace.
  4.   Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

Note:

Liquid pectin - sold under the brand name Certo - is a vegan product, derived from apple pectin.
