Ingredients
  • 3 cup Crushed gooseberries
  • 3 cup Crushed red currants
  • 2 1/2 cup Crushed raspberries
  • 7 cup Sugar
Directions
  1. 1
    Combine the crushed gooseberries, red currants, and raspberries in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
  2. 2
    Bring the fruit mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. 3
    Reduce heat and simmer the fruit for 15 minutes to break down the skins and release juices.
  4. 4
    Add the sugar to the pot and stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  5. 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. 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. 7
    Ladle the hot jam into hot sterilized jars, leaving appropriate headspace.
  8. 8
    Seal the jars and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
