Gooseberry Jelly Recipe


Gooseberry Jelly Recipe
This recipe came from a book I picked up somewhere during my bookshop browsing in England. The book is Jams, Jellies, Pickles and Chutneys, ©Mary Norwalk 1985. Servings are approx. small jars.

Ingredients
  • 4 lbs. green gooseberries
  • Sugar

Directions
  1. Wash gooseberries and top and tail them.
  2. Put fruit into a pan with just enough water to cover. Simmer for about 1 hour, until fruit is soft.
  3. Strain mixture through a jelly bag and discard the pulp.
  4. Measure gooseberry liquid and allow 1 cup of sugar for each cup of liquid.
  5. Add sugar to cooled, strained liquid and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Boil rapidly to setting point, then skim.
  6. Pour jelly into small, hot jars and seal. (I water bath seal my jellies.)
  7. Variation:
  8. A flavor of muscat grapes will be imparted to the jelly if a bunch of elderflower head is tied into muslin and added to the juice while it cooks with the sugar.

Sounds good. I love Gooseberries, but in england we will not be able to purchase them until later in the Summer, unfortunatelly. I will have to keep the recipe though, till later.
