Gooseberry and Elderflower Jam
« on: July 31, 2009, 04:37:48 pm »
Just made a batch of this lovely tangy jam:

1kg gooseberries
450ml water
1.3kg granulated sugar
250ml elderflower cordial.

Simmer top and tailed gooseberries in the water for about 30 mins until they can be pulped.
Add sugar and elderflower cordial (this can be left out if you don't have it)
Boil for about 8 - 10 mins until setting point is reached, then pot in steralised jars.
Makes about 2.3kg.

This have become the jam of choice now at breakfast, it's also a good orange colour, and looks great with the gooseberry seeds in it.

sounds lovely!
I made strawberry and elderflower last year, it was heaven on earth. Just threw in a handful of elderflowers  for the minute of boiling.  :&>
