Classic Gooseberry Jam ◆ 1930s Recipe

★ About this recipe: Gooseberries are in season! Having picked our own little crop of homegrown green gooseberries a week ago, we were eager to find a recipe from our library of cookbooks for them. This 1936 recipe for gooseberry jam caught our eye. After all, you can’t go wrong with jam. You can use it for anything – on your toast, in yogurt, jam tarts, desserts, etc. etc. This golden red jam turned out to be deliciously sweet and tart, and incredibly easy to make; a perfect jam to make if you have never made jam before. Try this for a taste of the past that won’t disappoint!

Thank you, just made my first batch. I let it simmer for too long so it’s a bit stiff but it’s still lovely!
