BilletHead Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 All the bbq sauce jars pinged and sealed so it is time to start Jammin! Here we go the gooseberries out of the freezer, Berries with pectin getting happy, Added the sugar to the mix, now were happy,happy,happy! Short stuff stirring, stirring, stirring while bringing to a boil. Notice the stool for elevation? Time to ladle the goodness into the jars, Got them filled, Enough left for warm sampling on bread and butter. This was a double batch of jam = a gallon of gooseberries.

tho1mas Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 How many ticks per quart? Look real good with biscuts.
ness Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Niiice. That's what I think of when I think of gooseberries -- greenish. Looks great! I told you a while back I've got Pixwell. Here's what mine look like: But, I'm not 100% sure that's what they are. I planted 3-4 varieties and only this one survived. I THINK it's Pixwel... Anyhoo, I love 'em. We took our smallish crop and made strawberry/gooseberry jam with them. John
BilletHead Posted August 31, 2013 Author Posted August 31, 2013 I know this batch was pixwel ness. Got them picked in the green stage just before they start turning purpleish and more ripe.I know in our new patch we have at least one pixwel and really don't know what the other bushes are. I bet they would be great with strawberries. Thom1as these are tame bushes, well manicured and mowed around. A bit less tickles than the wild ones in the timber. Gives a good excuse for a good tick check though!
