How to Make Sticky Gooseberry Sauce For The Soul

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over high heat.
  2. Gently crush the gooseberries with a fork or potato masher until slightly broken down.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Continue to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gooseberries are translucent, and the sauce has thickened considerably and coats the back of a spoon.
  8. Remove from heat.
  9. Carefully spoon the hot compote into a clean, sterilized glass jar.
  10. Secure the jar lid tightly.
  11. Allow to cool completely (about 20 minutes).
  12. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the sauce to set into a jam-like consistency. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
