  2. Scald water until hot, then add the gooseberries and cover them with white paper.

  3. Let the gooseberries sit in the hot water for two days.

  4. Transfer the gooseberries to a preserving pan and cover them with clarified sugar.

  5. Let them sit for four to five days.

  6. Boil the gooseberries gently on the fire.
