So that the berries do not burst, we first do the following:
1. In one and a half liters of boiling water we fill in 150 g of sugar and immediately add citric acid. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
2. We prick each gooseberry with a needle. Our sugar has dissolved, the water has boiled again, we pour the gooseberries in the lemon-sugar mixture into the chopped berries. Turn off the fire and hold the berry for 2 minutes in this hot syrup.
3. Two minutes have passed, the berries have become like olives. We transfer the berries with a slotted spoon to a container with cold water. If there is ice, you can add it. Shock cooling does not allow the berry to burst.
The syrup from which we took the berry, do not pour. On its basis, you can cook any compote. Yes, and we will need a glass for the base of our jam.
4. Pour the syrup into another container. We pour a glass of syrup separately. In a free pan, pour a separately poured glass (200 ml) of syrup and pour 1.2 kg to it. Sahara.
5. Mix the sugar with a glass of syrup very carefully with a slotted spoon or spatula and turn on the fire. We turn on the small fire so that the sugar dissolves. As sugar dissolves, the fire can add a little.
6. The syrup we have boiled, reduce the heat to the minimum and add a glass of raisins. We took half a glass of dark and half a glass of light raisins. But this is not particularly important. Take what is. Stir.
7. As soon as the syrup with raisins begins to boil again, and this will happen very quickly, almost immediately after you stop stirring, we will add spices. Add half a teaspoon of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of ground ginger. Well mix spices in syrup. It is necessary to completely dissolve them.
8. After stirring, our spice syrup will quickly begin to boil again, add the gooseberries there, taking it out of the cold water a couple of minutes before. And then turn off the stove. We raise the pan with jam and gently shake it so that the berry is distributed more evenly.
9. We leave the jam from the stove. We don’t close the lid, otherwise it may become steamy. You can put some sticks or skewers on the pan, and parchment paper or newspaper on them so that some kind of midges and dust do not fly in. Leave for 5 hours.
10. Five hours later, we send the pan of jam into the refrigerator for the night.
11. In the morning, again bring the jam to a boil and again immediately turn off the fire and let the berries soak in the juice for another 5 hours. Until it cools down completely.
If you have an electric stove, do not just turn off the stove, but remove the pan from the burner.
12. Now we need to boil the jam for the third time, but right before that, add a teaspoon of vanilla sugar to the jam.
13. The third time we bring the jam to a boil, but the third cooking we continue to cook for 8-10 minutes, after boiling, and do not immediately turn off the stove.
14. Cool the jam completely and pour cold into sterilized jars. We close with sterilized lids.
