Five-Minute Gooseberry Jam for Winter
A jar of gooseberry jam is a treasure trove of vitamins come winter! I adore recipes like this, because five-minute jams are the tastiest and the most wholesome. And homemade gooseberry jam is something special—in my opinion, the best of the bunch. The berries stay whole in this jam, which matters a lot to me. It's pure pleasure to enjoy this treat with an evening cup of tea on a cold winter day.

- Sort through the gooseberries, remove any debris, and pinch off the stem and blossom ends. Rinse the prepped berries and lay them on a towel to dry. 2. Transfer the gooseberries to an enameled pot of a good size. Cover them with half the sugar and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. In that time, the gooseberries will give off juice. If they don't release any, prick them with a skewer. 3. Pour the water into the gooseberries. 4. Set the pot of soon-to-be jam over low heat and bring it to a boil. 5. Add the remaining sugar to the pot and gently stir the berries—a wooden spoon works best. 6. Foam will rise to the surface; skim it off. 7. Cook the jam over the lowest heat for 5 minutes once it comes to a boil, then take the pot off the heat and let it cool completely. 8. Return the pot to the heat, bring it back to a boil, cook for 5 minutes, then remove and cool again. 9. Repeat a third time—but this time, after the 5-minute boil, pour the hot jam into small sterilized jars. Seal with sterile lids and let them cool somewhere warm. Store the five-minute jam in a cool place.
