Method
​
-
Place the gooseberries in a heavy-based saucepan and pour over the elderflower cordial. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the berries are completely soft. Allow to cool a little before blending and then pushing through a fine sieve to remove the pips.
-
Put the gooseberry puree and remaining ingredients into a bowl and place this over a pan of just simmering water. Stir constantly, this requires some patience, until the mix thickens enough to coat the back of your spoon, then push through a fine sieve again.
-
Pour into warm, sterilized jars and seal.
-
Once cold, place in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, but consume within 3 days after opening.
