Recipe View Process Jars: Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill it halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Carefully lower the filled jars into the pot using a jar holder, ensuring there is at least 2 inches of space between each jar. If needed, add more boiling water to ensure the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water back to a full boil, cover the pot, and process the jars for 10 minutes. (Processing time: 25 minutes)

Recipe View Cool and Seal: Carefully remove the jars from the stockpot and place them onto a cloth-covered or wooden surface, spacing them several inches apart. Allow them to cool completely. As they cool, you should hear a popping sound as the lids seal. Once cooled, test the seal by pressing down on the center of each lid with your finger. If the lid doesn't move up or down, it's properly sealed.

Recipe View Store: Store the sealed jars of Gooseberry Jam in a cool, dark place for up to one year.

For a smoother jam, ensure all stems and blossom ends are completely removed before milling the gooseberries.
Adjust the amount of sugar slightly based on the tartness of your gooseberries. Taste the mixture before boiling and add more sugar if needed.
If you don't have a food mill, you can carefully pulse the gooseberries in a food processor, but be careful not to over-process them into a puree.
