How to Make Gooseberry Cardamom Jam

  1. Wash and top 1kg of gooseberries.
  2. Weigh the gooseberries and measure out 333g of Dr. Oetker's Super Gelling Sugar 1:3 (1:3 ratio).
  3. Combine the gooseberries and sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  4. Gently crush some of the gooseberries to release their juices. Leave some whole for texture.
  5. Add 1 tsp of cardamom powder and stir well to combine.
  6. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Once simmering, cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jam reaches setting point (a small amount dropped onto a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger).
  8. Remove from heat and carefully skim off any foam.
  9. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a small headspace.
  10. Seal the jars tightly and allow to cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place.
  11. Enjoy your homemade Gooseberry Cardamom Jam!
