For 3 years my wife and I have tried to harvest gooseberries to make gooseberry jam. The following recipe is the one we made and it worked very well. Gooseberries are little round balls that begin green with small stripes and when they are ripe they turn purple. We collected 1 gallon of them and the recipe that follows is the result. I hope you will try it and like our recipe.
