This berry, originally from Northern Europe, has a lot of beneficial properties for us - in particular, gooseberry helps to strengthen blood vessels and release the body from toxins.
Also, this berry is indicated for those who want to lose weight - it lowers cholesterol and stimulates metabolic processes in the body.
Thus, by cooking gooseberry jam in a slow cooker, you will provide your family with a storehouse of vitamins for the winter.
Jam recipes can be completely different, we have selected one, the most interesting, in our opinion.
Today we will show you how to make aromatic gooseberry and orange jam. A separate plus of cooking in a multicooker is that during the process of making jam, there will be no breath in the kitchen, as it would be if we used recipes for cooking jam on the stove.
So, to make gooseberry and orange jam, take the following set of ingredients:
Nutritional value per 100 grams of product is 210 calories. Not the most dietary delicacy, because if you are losing weight by the summer, you should look for other, easier dessert recipes.
We sort out the gooseberries, rinse them under cold water, and remove all excess leaves and tough tails.
By the way, it is more convenient to cut them off with small nail scissors. Then wash the oranges under hot water with baking soda to thoroughly wash the peel, and cut into small slices right with the zest.
Although some recipes advise cutting it off, we will not do this, because this way the jam from will not have such a bright citrus note.
On a note: Don't forget to remove the stems from the oranges, and pick out all the seeds so they don't taste bitter in the treats.
We will use the help of kitchen units - a combine or a blender, and grind gooseberries and orange slices into a puree mass.
In the absence of such devices, you can turn to the good old meat grinder for help. We spread the resulting mass in a magic pot, fill it with sugar, stir everything thoroughly until smooth.
It is important not to fill the bowl of the multicooker device to the top - the mass should take no more than ¾ of the container, so that the jam does not "run away" during the cooking process.
On a note: You can diversify the recipes for making jam - and make it with gooseberries, lemon and orange, or with an apple and walnut. Such combinations will make a splash among the household, in contrast to the annoying raspberry jam.
Now, in order to properly cook gooseberry jam in a slow cooker, you need to try and watch it vigilantly for some time.
We select the "Stew" mode, the cooking time is 30 minutes. And we will cook without closing the lid of the multicooker. After about 15 minutes, the mass will begin to boil, and in this one we remove the foam from the jam.
At the end of the cooking time, carefully remove the bowl with the treat, let it cool to room temperature, and repeat the procedure twice more.
Every time after boiling, you need to let the treat cool to room temperature, so be patient. We cook for half an hour on the "Stew" mode, and boil for about 5 minutes.
On a note: some recipes advise you to simply simmer the food for an hour, and no longer boil, but, as practice shows, the jam prepared in this way is less stored. Of course, if you don't plan on cooking it for the winter, you can just cook it for one hour.
While the food is cooling down, you can prepare jars for the further boiling process. Wash the container and lids with soda and hot water, then sterilize using the microwave.
In jars with a volume of 0.5-, 0.7 liters, pour a little water - 3 centimeters, and put in the microwave. We turn on the unit and wait for about 2-3 minutes.
Put the jam in the finished jars, roll up the jars, turn them upside down and wrap them with a blanket. Let cool at room temperature, then store in the refrigerator.

Wash the gooseberries well under running water. Dry it on a towel and remove the tails and sepals. Cut each berry a little on the side and squeeze the seeds out of it. Weigh the prepared gooseberries on a kitchen scale.
Pour sugar into the multicooker bowl - take 1 kg of it per 1 kg of gooseberries. Pour sugar with ordinary drinking water - take 500 ml of liquid for 1 kg. Stir the mixture with a spoon and close the lid of the multicooker. Press the buttons in turn:
After the sound signal, open the lid and remove the foam from the surface of the syrup.
An open lid will help to evaporate excess moisture, and the jam will be thick and rich.
It differs from the previous one in that instead of ordinary water, a decoction of fresh cherry leaves is used. It is easy to make it in the same multicooker and with the same “Multicook” program. Pour the amount required according to the recipe into the bowl and put 15-20 pieces of leaves into it. Press the program button, the temperature is 160 degrees and the time is 5 minutes. At the end of the cooking process, remove the leaves with a slotted spoon and add sugar to the aromatic water. Next, cook the syrup, as indicated in paragraph 2, and then the jam itself - as indicated in paragraph 3.
It is even easier to cook jam in a multicooker, which has the Jam program - you just need to strictly follow the attached instructions. If in the multicooker there is neither the Multipovar program nor the Jam program, then cook the gooseberry jam using the technology described in the article.
