Ingredients

  • 2 qts. gooseberries
  • 4 cups sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Directions

Remove both ends from the gooseberries. Wash. Grind with medium-coarse blade of food chopper. Combine all ingredients in a wide kettle/saucepan. Cook until mixture clings to a wooden spoon, showing it has begun to thicken. Stir constantly while cooking. Ladle into hot sterilized jars; seal. Makes 4-half pints.

Note: Half-ripe or ripe berries may be used. With half-ripe or green berries, omit lemon juice. Use ripe berries for the attractive color.

Excellent with meats.
