This gooseberry jam recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law. She made it every year and would send us a pint because we could not get gooseberries where we lived.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Remove blossom and stem ends from gooseberries. Force berries through a food mill. Measure 4 cups of berry mash into a large pot. Stir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in pectin. Skim off any foam with a large metal spoon.
Step 3
Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Alternate skimming the foam and stirring the berry mixture while letting it cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Ladle into hot, sterile jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
