Gooseberry with pineapple and ginger

 

Jam time – this year I’ve tried something slightly different.  Gooseberry with pineapple and ginger, in an effort to make use of the gooseberries in the freezer from last year. Winged it a bit as I didn't have an exact recipe.  It took a while to set but I think that was partly due to the size of the batch.  Just over 3kg gooseberries, one fresh pineapple, one cup of water and one cup of preserved ginger meant the pan was fairly full.  Added an extra cup of sugar (11 cups in total) and a tablespoon of lemon juice in order to help get it to set.  It is a good consistency so I think the cooking time was about right.  13 jars total - I will need to gift some of it as that's an awful lot of jam!
