Instructions
Step 1
Calculate the number of products. For 5 cups of selected gooseberries, you need 2 handfuls of cherry leaves, 3 cups of water and 7 cups of granulated sugar, as well as some walnuts. Peel and chop the nuts. Set aside a dozen of the total number of cherry leaves, they will be needed a little later.
Step 2
Prepare the berries. For such a jam, it is necessary to select large and strong ones that will not crumple if pierced. Wash the gooseberries. Remove the stalks. After making a longitudinal incision on each berry with a sharp knife, remove the seeds from it and insert the walnut pieces.
Step 3
Make a decoction of cherry leaves. Pour 3 cups of water into an enamel pot and dip the cleanly washed cherry leaves into it. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the water to a boil, then immediately remove the broth. The broth should be green. Let it cool to room temperature and place the pot in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 4
Make a syrup. For 2 cups of broth, take 7 cups of sugar, stir and bring to a boil. Pour prepared gooseberries into boiling syrup and boil for 12 minutes. Dip a few more cherry leaves into the syrup and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Sterilize jars and lids. Before pouring jam there, pour boiling water over the jars. Pour the jam hot and immediately roll up the jars.
