Classic version of

So, let's look at how to make gooseberries, rubbed with sugar, according to the classic recipe.

Prepare ingredients:

• gooseberries - 1 kg;
• sugar - 1,2 kg.

Note! The amount of sugar you can vary at your own discretion. Usually, for 1 kg of berries add about 1-1.5 kg of granulated sugar!

The cooking process.

1. Fruits of gooseberries sorted and cleaned spoiled, cut stems.
2. After the rejection process, we glaze the berries with steep boiling water and transfer it to a colander, so that the glasses are superfluous.
3. Prepared gooseberries dry with a paper towel and put into the bowl of the blender, chop.
   

   Tip! If there is no blender, then the fruit can be passed through a meat grinder. And for a more uniform texture, the process is repeated twice using the smallest grating!

4. Put the mashed potatoes in a bowl or pot and add sugar.
5. Leave the mixture for a while on the table, stirring occasionally, to completely dissolve the sugar.
6. Sterilized dry jars are filled with ground gooseberry, sprinkled with two spoons of sugar.
   

   Note! Sugar on the surface of the puree will create a so-called lock, which will not allow bacteria to enter the jar, and thus, the dessert will be stored long enough without losing its quality!

7. The workpiece is tightly closed with lids and sent to storage in a cool place.

Recipe recommendations

1. The amount of sugar will depend not only on your taste preferences, but also on the storage conditions of the dessert - the lower the air temperature, the less sugar can be added to the treat.
2. If you do not want to use a lot of sugar, then in this case it is desirable to pour the dessert on small jars and store them in the freezer, taking out as needed. In this case, the cold jam will not have time to spoil.
3. Lemon in the second version is quite possible to replace with orange, but it is not recommended to mix citrus fruits.
4. Pay special attention to the quality of the fruit and carefully remove all bones, otherwise the taste of the billet will be spoiled.
5. Milled gooseberry, cooked according to the second recipe, is not hermetically sealed, but only covered to ensure normal air circulation.
