Gooseberry Jam

You Need:

1  Kg Frozen So Smoothies Gooseberries – R42/kg

1  Kg Granulated Sugar

1 Tbs Elderflower Cordial (optional, but yum)

1.   Put Gooseberries into a pot with 120ml water and simmer until

fruit is nice and soft (about 30 min). Remove from heat

2.   Roughly mash fruit to pulp,  then add sugar and stir until sugar

is dissolved.

3.  Place back onto heat and bring to a boil.  Boil for 10 minutes.

4.  To check consistency, place a drop of jam onto a cold plate and leave for 1 minute.  If it wrinkles when you push the

jam, it is perfect.  Otherwise boil little longer.  Stir in Elderflower cordial.  Spoon into prepared bottles.
