Thick sweet and sour jam made with delicious Gooseberries. Gooseberry jam is one of those old fashioned pleasures that your grandma raves about, but it’s hard to lay hands on it these days. Since gooseberries are making their way back into farmers markets across the country, it’s easy enough to make your own homemade gooseberry jam. Gooseberries can be either red or green, and red gooseberries will yield a deep blood red jam similar to a red currant jam.
