My new wonder jelly 8)
2 lbs Gooseberries
1 lb Redcurrents
2 pints of water
3lbs sugar (granulated)
1 teaspoon chili flakes
top and tail gooseberries, rinse put in pan, rinse redcurrents stalks'n'all, also put in pan, add water and bring to boil, boil rapidly for 20 minutes, get potato masher out and mash, it will look like some witches brew but will smell fruity.. strain through Muslin cloth (or clean t-towel) leave overnight. Next morning put the strained liquid into pan (it should look a bit milky I think, mine did) add the sugar and bring to the boil stirring all the time to make sure that the sugar dissolves. Rapidly boil again for about 20-30 minutes testing after 20 to see it will set, I put a saucer in the freezer each time. Once its got to a consistency of nearly set jelly. Take off the heat, leave for 10 minutes to cool down then add the chili flakes, pour into warm jars and enjoy. I did this yesterday and had some with Roast Pork...even the kids loved it... hope you all do too. ;D
