Provided by รก-170456

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 1/2 pounds fully ripe gooseberries
1 cup water
7 cups sugar
1 box Sure-Jell fruit pectin

Steps:

  • First prepare the juice. Thoroughly crush, one layer at a time, or grind about 4 1/2 pounds gooseberries. Place in saucepan and add 1 cup water. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Place in jelly cloth or bag and let drip. When dripping has almost ceased, press gently. Measure 5 1/2 cups into 6- or 8-quart saucepan. Then make the jelly. Measure sugar and set aside. Mix fruit pectin into juice in saucepan. Place over high heat and stir until mixture comes to a full boil. Immediately add sugar and stir. Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off foam with metal spoon. Ladle quickly into hot sterilized jars, filling to within 1/8-inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Invert jars for 5 minutes, then turn upright. After 1 hour, check seals. This recipe yields about 8 cups.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe gooseberries that are not bruised or damaged.
  • Top and tail the gooseberries before cooking to remove the stems and blossom ends.
  • Cook the gooseberries in a large saucepan with a little water to prevent them from sticking.
  • Use a potato masher or food processor to crush the cooked gooseberries before straining them through a jelly bag or cheesecloth to extract the juice.
  • Add sugar to the gooseberry juice and bring it to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the jelly reaches setting point.
  • Test the jelly for setting point by placing a small amount on a cold plate and chilling it in the refrigerator for a few minutes. If the jelly wrinkles when you push your finger across it, it is ready.
  • Pour the hot jelly into sterilized jars and seal them tightly.
  • Store the jelly in a cool, dark place for up to a year.

Conclusion:

Gooseberry jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or pancakes. It can also be used as a glaze for roasted meats or as a filling for pies and tarts. With its bright flavor and beautiful color, gooseberry jelly is a surefire hit at any gathering.
