Gooseberry jam

Cookinero 14 Jan 2023

Have you heard of gooseberry jam? Most likely not, because at the mention of this berry, the so-called “royal” jam immediately comes to mind. And then the imagination helpfully paints a picture of many hours of gooseberry preparation, because in order for the jam to turn out transparent, like a tear, the seeds from the fruits must be carefully removed. So, if you are going to cook gooseberry jam, this does not threaten you! In addition, the finished dish will have such an exquisite taste that you will certainly add our recipe to the list of your family favorites. And even though gooseberry jam does not differ in transparency (this is not required from it), but with it you will save energy in the summer, and in winter you can fully enjoy an incredibly delicious dessert.
