Summer is a wonderful time when we can enjoy the gifts of nature and replenish our bodies with vitamins, amino acids and minerals. We enjoy eating in the summer fresh berries and fruits, but we must not forget about preparations for the winter. I just recently published, and today I want to talk to you about gooseberry jam, which is rightfully one of the most healthy and vitamin-rich.
Health benefits and harms of gooseberries
Since gooseberries are rich in vitamins A, B, C, E, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, etc., its benefits are obvious for the human body. Gooseberries help with diseases such as anemia, hypertension, eczema, various inflammations of the respiratory tract and constipation. Gooseberries are considered a good preventative against cancer, cardiovascular ailments, and will help with low hemoglobin. Gooseberries have a choleretic effect, increase immunity, and give energy to a person. And with all this, due to its low calorie content, it is an excellent means for losing weight. Women are recommended to consume this wonderful berry to normalize hormonal levels during menopause, and for men at risk of cardiovascular diseases to strengthen blood vessels and heart muscle. Gooseberry in fresh regulates and normalizes the amount of glucose in the blood, but the daily norm should not exceed 100 g.
But gooseberries can also be harmful to health. It is not advisable to use it for people suffering from diseases of the stomach and duodenum and pancreatitis.
I definitely recommend preparing gooseberries for the winter. You can freeze the berries, then the vitamins will be preserved. at its best, you can even dry them, although this will not be easy to do due to the fact that the berries are quite large. But traditional preparation It's still jam.

Still, I decided to make royal gooseberry jam or emerald jam, as it is also called. The trick is that you need to remove the seeds from the berries, leaving only the walls with pulp. To be honest, I didn’t have the patience to peel a kilo of gooseberries, so I chose one of the simplified versions of this jam. I left the berries whole, and did everything else according to the recipe: added cherry leaves, boiled the syrup, and infused the jam. Taste royal jam gooseberries are simply super, very tasty! True, the color is not emerald at all, just a regular yellowish-golden color, as in other recipes.
I would like to note that even in a simplified version, the recipe for royal gooseberry jam requires patience and care. It took me two days to prepare.
Ingredients
For royal (royal) gooseberry jam you will need:
- dense unripe gooseberries - 800 g;
- cherry leaves – 12-15 pcs;
- granulated sugar – 800 g;
- water – 1 glass.
How to make royal gooseberry jam. Recipe
For this jam you need bottle gooseberries with large bright green berries. They are very dense, with fleshy walls, and sour. I couldn’t find one like this, I cooked it from a regular round one, but picked the berries unripe. Filled with cold water, then rinsed and left in a colander. But it’s better to scatter the berries on a towel to dry - this will make it easier to peel.
I cut off the branches and remaining flower stalks. I poured water over the berries again and washed off all the stuck debris.
Place a layer of gooseberries in a wide bowl. Layered with cherry leaves (the leaves were previously doused with boiling water).
There are also gooseberries on top. I poured in a glass of water warmed up to room temperature (40-45 degrees). Covered and left overnight. There were doubts about the advisability of this procedure, but the water was indeed saturated with the aroma of berries and cherry leaves.
In the morning I threw the berries and leaves into a sieve. The water will be used to prepare sugar syrup. The leaves will no longer be needed; I threw them away.
Pour the aromatic infusion into a thick-bottomed pan and boil it. I poured sugar. I put it on the lowest heat. Cook for about five minutes after boiling, stirring.
The result was a thick syrup. At the beginning of cooking, it foamed a lot, but after a couple of minutes it became homogeneous, almost transparent.
Turned off the fire under the pan. Place gooseberries in hot syrup. Did not stir, shook the mixture several times and left until evening (or 8-10 hours).
After steeping, the gooseberries turned yellowish. I can’t imagine how jam can be emerald in color...When heated, the berries change color and this is quite normal, but green ones - well, I don’t know, maybe some special variety.
Place the gooseberry jam on low heat and bring to a boil. Collected the foam and boiled for three minutes. Turned it off.
I left it covered overnight. In the morning I boiled it again and cooked for another three minutes. I insisted for six hours until it cooled completely.
Advice. Try not to stir the gooseberry jam, but to shake it. Then the berries will not lose their shape, the syrup will remain transparent.
After steeping, the berries became saturated with syrup, became heavy, and sank to the bottom. The syrup turned golden caramel color. The third time I cooked it over very low heat so that only slight stirring and small bubbles were noticeable. I boil for five minutes.
I take small jars, 200 ml each. I definitely sterilize it; I find it more convenient to steam it over a container of boiling water. I put the lids in a ladle and boil for a few minutes. I scoop up gooseberry jam with a small ladle and put it in hot jars. I screw it tightly.
I don’t turn the jars over; I leave them in the kitchen to cool to room temperature. I transfer it to a cool basement for storage - after all, the cooking was short and it’s better to be on the safe side. Although with such an amount of sugar and acid in the berries, gooseberry jam should be stored well at room temperature.
A small portion was left for testing, and I want to say that after a couple of days the taste became different, more intense or something. So, after brewing, the royal gooseberry jam will become even tastier. Will I cook it next year? Maybe if I find the right variety. It’s easier to cook from our garden regular jam, for example - here by . Good luck with your preparations and have a delicious winter! Your Plyushkin.
Gooseberry jam stands somewhat apart in the general range of homemade jams, especially on the tables of citizens of large cities, it is a rather rare guest, they are very pleased to surprise the guests who drop by, they treat it as something very exotic.
But in ancient times, gooseberry jam was a regular at winter tea parties in our homes.
The benefits of the fruits themselves are literally legendary; gerontologists claim that active consumption of gooseberries significantly prolongs life and rejuvenates the body. Gooseberry fruits contain a high content of vitamin C, P - active substances, iron, carotene, and even contain such a rare vitamin B9, the amount of which in the fruit increases as their ripeness increases.
In all the proposed methods of cooking gooseberry jam, the maximum amount of vitamins is preserved; gooseberry jam is often cooked with the addition of other berries, but we offer methods for cooking mono-jam containing only one type of fruit.
A special delicacy is gooseberry jam with almond seeds inside each berry; for obvious reasons, you can’t make a lot of this jam, but you can still make a small batch. Whole berries from jam prepared using the first method can be used to decorate cakes, and also as complete ingredients in fruit salads.
An interesting feature of gooseberry jam is that it is extremely varied in appearance, depending both on the methods of preparing the jam and on the varieties of fruit used, as well as on the degree of their ripeness. But it should be noted that preparing gooseberry jam is quite a time-consuming activity, which, of course, is worth it; you just need to adjust your plans.
Gooseberry jam - how to cook gooseberry jam using 1 method
To make gooseberry jam you will need:
- gooseberries - 1000g,
- sugar - 1500g.
Recipe:
Depending on what color you prefer for gooseberry jam, you can choose green varieties, or brightly colored yellow or orange ones, as well as varieties with dark-colored pulp.
Any of the listed gooseberry varieties will make excellent jam prepared according to our recipe. We wash the gooseberries, peel them from the stalks and the upper dried inflorescences, put them in a colander to completely drain the water, now you should chop each berry to avoid cracking the peel when making jam.
After these labor-intensive procedures, we sprinkle the berries with vodka and place them, first in freezer for 20 minutes, and then just put it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, cook the syrup from sugar and two glasses of water until completely clear, then put the gooseberries in it, do not stir the jam, but shake it to mix, bring the mixture to a boil, at the first appearance of boiling bubbles, turn off the heat.
We leave the mass to cool, after complete cooling, drain the syrup through a colander and bring it to a boil, then put the gooseberries into the boiling syrup again. Such procedures, for high quality jam, must be done 2-4 times, the last time we cook the gooseberry jam until tender, about half an hour.
If desired, you can add vanilla to the finished jam; if the amount of jam allows, then we prepare it for future use, for which we put the boiling jam into sterile jars, one at a time, close with sterile lids and seal.
To sterilize jars, you need to buy a special metal lid with a hole in the center, place it on any pan half filled with water, bring the water to a boil and place the jar on top for a few seconds.
The readiness of a steam-heated jar is determined by touching its bottom; if the hand cannot withstand a slight touch, then the jar is already sterilized and can be filled with jam.
At the moment when you remove the jar to fill it with jam, we put a metal lid with a varnished inner coating into boiling water so that it is also sterilized; one or two seconds is enough for this. While you are filling the jar with boiling jam to the top, the sterilization of the lid will be completed; we remove it with tweezers or a fork, place it on the filled jar and immediately seal it using a special sealing machine for homemade preparations.

Cooking gooseberry jam in a slow cooker is a real pleasure! The only downside, perhaps, is that you can’t cook too much at once. It is not recommended to add more than 1 kg of berries.
Ingredients:
- 700 grams of gooseberries
- 600 grams of sugar
1 Wash the berries well, remove the leaves and tails on both sides. Although, when I made gooseberry jam, I didn’t do this. Believe me, the taste has not deteriorated at all. Then, however, you will have to spit these tails. I have already made the next batches of jam for the winter without the tails. Leave the gooseberries in a colander to drain the water, then pour them into a slow cooker and add sugar. You can wait half an hour for the berries to give juice, then mix the gooseberries with sugar using a spatula and then put them in stewing mode. I didn’t have any time at all, so I just sprinkled the berries with sugar and put them on simmer mode for an hour. Naturally, close the lid.
2 After 10 minutes, the gooseberry jam will begin to boil. Open the lid and mix thoroughly so that all the sugar drowns in the sweet syrup. If the non-stick coating of your bowl is in good condition, nothing will burn. If the food is already sticking a little, then after about five minutes open the lid of the multicooker and stir the gooseberry jam again.
3 While the jam is preparing, let's prepare the jars. They need to be sterilized along with the lids and dried well. I usually wash the jars first with detergent, then with baking soda, rinse well and sterilize in a water bath. I pour jam into small jars for the winter. I sterilize the half-liter jars for 10 minutes, and then I put all the jars in an oven preheated to 100 degrees and dry them. You can dry jars in the microwave, but you can put a maximum of 3 jars in there. If there are a lot of preparations, I don’t use the microwave. When the multicooker signals that the gooseberry jam is ready, immediately pour it into jars. Roll up the lids and cool to room temperature, turning the neck down. Then, you can put it in the cellar.
