Gooseberry Jam
Little
The Gooseberries have been ripening a few at a time,
.
.
Many
…Constance helped with the last picking…
.
.
Crop
…and brought the last basketful to Jane.
.
.
Boil
They were boiled, and strained, …and then equal volume of sugar was added and boiled again until the sheeting stage was reached.
.
.
Ping
…and then bottled. There is nothing so satisfying as the ping of a jar of sealed jam…
.
.
Jam
…unless it is a stack of jam jars.

Jane and Constance make a great team. Those jars of jam are just beautiful. So good on a nice hot biscuit!
Your comment sent me rushing off to the kitchen to make Baking Powder Biscuits, and you were right! The jam was very good on nice hot (and buttery!) biscuits!
You’re so right about the *ping” of the jar! Unless it’s the shine of the sun through the finished product as it sits in a window just to look at a bit…
It’s true – sunlight through the jam, and a house that smells of jam and baking…m-m-m
The jam is as delicious as it looks! Yummm.
Constance and Jane say thank you! It was a good morning in the Quimper cupboard.
