Lovely.. gooseberries.. they don't seem to want to grow here in Ontario.

Hi everyone, I had a great harvest of gooseberries as far as numbers are concerned but they are very bitter  :-X Luckily I don't mind their tartness but no-one else in the family will go near them when they are this sour (lucky me, lots to stew with water for topping my porridge) xjane

I think tart sour fruits make great jam. Some years our plums have a tartness to them and that is when the plum jam is really good.
