Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the crushed gooseberries, red currants, and raspberries in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
  2. Bring the fruit mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer the fruit for 15 minutes to break down the skins and release juices.
  4. Add the sugar to the pot and stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  5. Return the mixture to a rolling boil and boil uncovered until it reaches the jam stage (104ðC / 219ðF), which should take about 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat and let the jam stand for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to distribute the fruit pieces evenly and skim off any foam.
  7. Ladle the hot jam into hot sterilized jars, leaving appropriate headspace.
  8. Seal the jars and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
