Gooseberry and Elderflower Jam

A glut of gooseberries from Mum's allotment and plenty of previously made elderflower cordial meant there was only one thing to be done.... Jam!

We used a Delia recipe found here - I won't repeat it but I will say that we had a LOT more gooseberries and so had three times this recipe. We used two jam pans and it probably took about an extra 40 minutes to set. Hatty makes a lot of jam and her experience is it often takes longer to set than recipes suggest. See her previous post here for lots of jam making tips.

 

Now we have quite a lot of jam... some will go to the café but we might have to think up something else to do with the rest - Queen of Puddings anyone?
