Gooseberry jelly

Gooseberries are often underestimated, and this is a very useful berry. Any varieties of gooseberries are suitable for jelly. Depending on this, the jelly will be sourer or sweeter. With dark gooseberries, the jelly turns out to be more sour. With green (if the berries are ripe, large) - sweeter. But in both cases it is a very healthy and delicious drink - a storehouse of vitamins.
