Gooseberry Jam: A Sweet and Tangy Delight
Ingredients:
200g gooseberries
35-45g of erythritol / sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions:
Before beginning the jam-making process, make sure to wash the gooseberries and remove any stems or leaves. Then, coat the berries with the erythritol or sugar, depending on your preference. If you are looking for a low-sugar option, erythritol is a great choice as it is a natural sugar substitute!
After coating the berries with sugar, let them sit in the mixture overnight. This allows the sugar to penetrate the fruit and helps to develop a deeper, more complex flavor.
The next day, transfer the berry and sugar mixture to a small pot. Heat the mixture over medium heat and stir occasionally.
Once the mixture is heated through, add in the lemon juice. This helps to cut through the sweetness and balances out the flavors. Keep stirring the mixture until it thickens and the jam is no longer watery.
(Optional) If you prefer a smoother jam without any fruit chunks, blend the mixture in a blender for about 2 minutes. This helps to break down the fiber of the fruit and creates a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Transfer all the jam to a clean jar. Let it cool before storing it in the refrigerator. Spread it on toast, bagels, or even use it as a glaze for meat dishes – the possibilities are endless!
