Good afternoon friends!
I continue the selection of articles from the Sweet Life series, and today gooseberry jam is next in turn. The best, delicious and simple recipes for making this beautiful emerald berry for the winter.
And if this jam is made in combination with citrus fruits, nuts, with the addition of fragrant cherry leaves, then it will justify its name - royal and royal, emerald and malachite.
You can also make white jelly and marmalade from gooseberries, and gooseberries in your own juice are very tasty. If you are interested, write in the comments.
In order to make a sweet dessert with whole berries, we select immature and green so that they do not boil in syrup. And we will eat the ripe gooseberries fresh, and freeze what remains, freeze for the winter or cook jam or marmalade.
We wash the berries well and peel the stems. If they are small, we will cook them whole, and cut them into large ones, and carefully remove the seeds through the incision.
Rinse the berries again, put in a saucepan, pour cold water and let stand for 6-8 hours.
Then we drain the water, but do not pour it out, we need it for the preparation of the syrup. Dry the berries in a colander.
Cooking syrup. Dissolve sugar in two glasses of water, bring to a boil. Boil the syrup for 5 minutes and dip the berries into it. Leave to cool completely.
We bring the jam to a boil, cook for 5 minutes, cool and stand for 8 hours, so that the syrup penetrates the pulp of the fruits. And the strength of the syrup will increase gradually, with each cooking.
The third time we cook for 40 minutes, until the desired density, and to improve the taste, add a little vanillin.
After each cooking, we put the pan with jam in a basin with cold water to cool, otherwise it loses its beautiful emerald color on brown-brown. In no case should you cover it.
Hot gooseberries are poured into dry sterile jars, roll up the lids. Turn upside down until completely cooled.
Wash the gooseberries well and put them dry on a clean linen towel. Also wash the cherry leaves. We cut the “ponytails” and stems of the berries.
We arm ourselves with royal patience and make small cuts on each berry and very carefully remove the seeds so as not to perforate the berry.
Dry the kernels of walnuts in the oven and break into small pieces that fit inside the gooseberries.
Fill the berries with nuts.
Cooking syrup. Pour water into the container, put half the sugar and cherry leaves.
Dip berries with nuts in boiling syrup, cook for 5 minutes, then cool very quickly, placing the container in a bowl of cold water. Soak in syrup for at least 5 hours.
Then boil it repeatedly in 2-3 doses for 5 minutes in boiling syrup, adding sugar, and after each dose soak for 5-6 hours. After each cooking, the jam must be quickly cooled.
Stand the finished treat for 5-6 hours, and then coldly packaged in sterilized jars, cover with a piece of paper moistened with vodka and tightly knotted with twine.
Keep in the refrigerator.
With this recipe, Marina Lomaka will introduce us. Cooking time 2 hours.
We will cook emerald or malachite jam according to old technology, as my grandmother did. After a quick previous cooking in a slow cooker, this process may seem more time-consuming and complicated. But if you have enough patience and time, then you will be very proud to put on the table a real gooseberry emerald.
To select unripe, green, smooth fruits. Sort and remove from stems, blades of grass and green bugs. Rinse well.
To clear from "tails" and "spouts", to remove seeds.
Fold in a clay pot, shifting the berries with cherry leaves and spinach leaves, pour wine vinegar, close the lid and put in a hot oven overnight.
Then take out the gooseberries, and put it in cold water with ice, after an hour change the water and boil the berries in it once.
Drain boiling water. Pour the berries again in cold water with ice for 10-15 minutes. Then lay the berries on a sieve. Sudden cooling helps preserve the color, which gives the emerald color to our jam.
When the water drains, lay the gooseberries on a towel, allow to dry and weigh.
Prepare syrup, boil, remove foam. Pour the berries with ready-made syrup and leave for 5 hours. At the next 2 stages, pour the syrup, bring to a boil and pour the berries. To stand, during this time the berries are well soaked in syrup.
At the last stage, put the cooled jam on the stove, bring to a boil, and cook until the gooseberry becomes transparent. Constantly remove the foam, do not interfere, but shake it so as not to damage the berries. In a syrup, you can put a piece of vanilla.
We learn the readiness with the help of a drop - drip syrup on a dry saucer, if it does not spread, then our dessert is ready.
Pour boiling water into prepared sterilized jars. Turn upside down, wrap with a blanket and leave to cool completely.
Peel the gooseberries, rinse well and allow the water to drain, throwing them in a colander.
Then fill the berries with sugar and mix well with a blender.
Arrange in clean, dry cans. Keep refrigerated. The result was an exceptionally delicious dessert.
The combination of gooseberries and citrus fruits is not only a “vitamin explosion”, but also a protection against seasonal colds. I offer an interesting and simple recipe from gooseberries and orange for the winter.
Rinse gooseberry berries under running water, dry on a linen towel, cut ponytails and stems.
Wash the orange, cut into slices, free from the stones. You can also use orange zest or peel.
Put prepared gooseberries and chopped orange in a large bowl. Grind everything with a blender until smooth.

Gooseberry Jam Emerald - An amazing home-made delicacy that has enchanting abilities. One has only to start using it, then it is impossible then just to take and stop. There is an acute desire to enjoy it constantly. And you know, this is not at all surprising! The gooseberry jam made at home is actually very tasty, and its pleasant sweet and sour taste is directly mesmerizing. It is enough to make a cup of tea and pour on the saucer such emerald jam of gooseberries and the dessert is ready, it can be served to the table without any doubt.
As you already noticed, the ingredients of this step-by-step photo of the recipe with detailed technological instructions include cherry leaves. You can be sure that they are used in our case not as an ornament of emerald goodies. Cherry leaves directly affect the taste and aroma of gooseberry jam. During the time when the finished gooseberry dainty is waiting for its use, the leaves of the cherry enhance the sweetness of its aftertaste and gradually enrich the jam with the aroma of caramel. As a result, a delicious sour-sweet gooseberry jam for the winter comes out with a light caramel flavor.
We will not lose a minute and begin to create an emerald berry blank for the winter!
So, for making emerald jam at home it is recommended to take berries in an unripe state. This is necessary so that the delicacy really turns out to be emerald. You can also take half ripe berries and half immature. On the taste of berry jam, the ripeness of gooseberries almost does not affect, but on the color more than.
I carefully wash the selected gooseberry fruits, and at the same time we separate them immediately from the tails. It will be more correct if you get pulp and seeds from all the berries, but, in fact, this is a very long process, so we will cook gooseberry jam from whole berries.
Rinse the cherry leaves well and divide into two parts. We will need fifteen pieces now, and we will use the rest half in the further cooking process.
Now we take a deep pan in which jam will be directly cooked and fill it with water. Then we send the first part of the cherry leaves into the water and move the liquid to the fire to boil. After boiling, cook the broth for several minutes. In the process of cooking, the cherry leaves have already given up part of their flavor to the liquid in which they were cooked.
Pour the gooseberry berries with the resulting aromatic liquid, after which we leave them in this position for a whole day.
Twenty-four hours later, we return to the gooseberry and drain all the liquid from it into a separate saucepan.
Sugar is added to the drained gooseberry infusion.
Now from this liquid with sugar we cook the syrup until ready. He must boil well.
Pour the finished sugar syrup into a container with gooseberries, then transfer it all to a medium heat.
When the gooseberry syrup began to boil, boil the jam for about another fifteen minutes.
Just two minutes before the jam is ready, we send the rest of the cherry leaves to it.
We put the finished gooseberry delicacy in sterile jars, and then roll them up. If the jars are hermetically rolled up, you can be sure that the precious blank will preserve all its qualities for the whole winter.
Gooseberry emerald jam is ready for winter. If some part of the goodies in the jars did not fit, then this is only at hand for us. Place the remaining jam in a suitable saucer for testing.
Bon Appetit!
