Because this Raspberry with Gooseberry Jam is The New Flavor You Don’t Want to Miss

Have you considered making a jam out of these berries? This is the perfect time to try this delightfully simple recipe.

Why gooseberries?

These berries come in both green and red, but they tend to darken once they are mature. They taste a bit like sour grapes.

Furthermore, when mixed with the tartness of raspberries, the combination is a tasty sweet-tart mix that will become a new favorite.

How do I cook this?

Not to worry, the process isn’t as hard as it may seem. Making jam takes a little attention to detail, but not too much equipment or time.

First, combine the fruit with the sugar, stir it, and set aside for an hour or more. This allows the fruit to absorb the sugar thoroughly.

Once the hour is up, bring the fruit and sugar to a boil, making sure to keep the rising foam under control.

Finally, it’s time to add citric acid, salt if you like it, and stir. Simmer for a couple of minutes, and your jam is ready for storing!
