Strawberry Gooseberry Jam Rezept

Zubereitung von Strawberry Gooseberry Jam

1. Wash 1 pound of gooseberries and place them in a saucepan with 1/4 cup of water.
2. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all the gooseberries have burst open (about 10-15 minutes).
3. Press the cooked gooseberries through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the puree and discarding the skins, stems, and seeds.
4. Gently rinse 2 pounds of strawberries and remove the green caps. Roughly chop the strawberries.
5. In a large pot, combine the gooseberry puree, chopped strawberries, 3 cups of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
6. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
7. Continue to boil hard, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the jam reaches setting point (a wrinkle test or using a thermometer to reach 220°F/104°C). This should take approximately 20-25 minutes.
8. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
9. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
10. Wipe the jar rims clean, and seal with lids. Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes to ensure a proper seal.
