What each ingredient does
- Gooseberries
- Provide the fruit body and natural pectin that help the jam set.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the jam and, when boiled, helps it thicken and keep its set.
The step that matters
Boil until fruit and syrup stay together. Under-boiling leaves the jam thin and watery, so fruit and syrup separate. Boiling long enough lets the sugar concentrate and the pectin gel, so the jam sets firm.
