Grated gooseberries with orange - recipe

Let's collect on the work surface all the ingredients we need to make healthy jam. Choose gooseberries to your taste; this recipe features a rich purple sweet variety. Oranges must be selected as ripe as possible. Wash all ingredients thoroughly in cold water and let dry at room temperature.


We plan to use citrus fruits together with zest, so we simply cut the fruits into small pieces as shown in the photo. This process will also help you easily remove seeds from oranges..


You can grind the ingredients in a blender or using a food processor; even a regular meat grinder will do. Grind the gooseberries along with orange slices in any way convenient for you.


Pour the crushed fruit and berry puree into a large suitable enamel basin. This container is most suitable for further cooking..


We begin to pour granulated sugar into the bowl of jam in portions. After each serving, carefully knead the contents of the basin, trying to dissolve the sugar crystals completely.


If stirring was not enough, lightly boil the jam. However, Do not overdo it with the temperature, otherwise it will kill both part of the taste of the product and its beneficial vitamins. The result should be a fairly thick mass, homogeneous and almost smooth.


We sterilize jars in any way convenient and known to you, and we do the same with lids. Pour the sweet fruit and berry mixture into glass containers and tighten the lids. You can store this preparation in a cool place, and after opening the cans it is better to leave the gooseberries in the refrigerator. Grated gooseberries with sugar and orange are ready for the winter.

Place the gooseberries, pulp and orange zest in a blender bowl and blend for 2-3 minutes until smooth.

Pour the puree into a bowl, add sugar and mix thoroughly. Leave the mixture at room temperature for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.

Boil metal lids for 3 minutes, wash plastic lids with soda, pour boiling water over them or wipe with alcohol.

Divide the jam into cooled, sterilized jars, filling them to the top.

Carefully cover the surface of the jam with sugar (2-3 tablespoons) to prevent contact with air. You can additionally cover the sugar layer with a piece of parchment paper soaked in alcohol.

Today we will make gooseberry jam. I will present you with different recipes for preparations made from this berry. And you will choose the one that suits your taste.

But first, some practical tips on the process of preparing and boiling berries:

  1. It is more convenient to trim the tails with scissors, preferably manicure scissors.
  2. Gooseberry jam is usually boiled in an enamel pan. If you don't have one, use stainless steel dishes with a thick bottom. I cook in a copper basin that I inherited.
  3. It is better to pierce the gooseberries in 2-3 places with a toothpick or a needle so that they do not burst during cooking and are saturated with syrup.
  4. When stirring the jam, it is better to use a wooden or plastic spatula.
  5. Jam jars must be sterilized. But make sure that there are no droplets of water left in them - dry them thoroughly or sterilize them in the oven, microwave or convection oven. Otherwise, the jam may become moldy during storage.
  6. How to check if jam is ready? Place one drop on a saucer. If it does not spread, then the jam is ready. If the recipes you are going to use for the first time indicate a cooking time, use this as a basis. But always check the readiness of your jam this way.
  7. Do not forget to constantly skim off any scale (foam) that forms while the jam is boiling.
  8. To prevent jars from cracking from hot jam, place a cold tablespoon in them.
  9. If you want to get thick jam, then take slightly unripe berries: they contain more pectin, and the jam will turn out thicker. And from ripe and overripe berries the product will be more liquid.

This jam is indispensable for colds. But you can’t add it to hot tea: hot tea destroys many vitamins.

Ingredients per bookmark:

  • gooseberries - 700 gr.;
  • sugar – 500 gr.
  1. Jars (0.5 liters) and lids can be sterilized in a slow cooker. Pour some water into the bowl. Wash the container well first. I usually do this with . Place the jars upside down. Throw the lids directly into the water.

  4. After sterilization, wipe the bowl and jars dry.

  10. Set the next “Quenching” for 15 minutes.
  11. After the time has passed, cool again and simmer again for 15 minutes. Thus, we cook the jam in three steps - once for 30 minutes, twice for 15 minutes.

ADVICE:

  1. Do not increase the amount of ingredients. The jam can overflow and cause you a lot of trouble.
  2. You can cook it in one step by setting the “Stew” program for an hour. But it seems to me that it is prepared in three steps better: the berries do not boil so softly and the jam turns out to be more pleasant in both taste and color.

Bon appetit!

If all the ingredients are at hand, then you can start preserving. So, wash the fruits well, remove the stems from the gooseberries, cut the oranges into small cubes.

There is no need to peel the oranges, but the seeds, of course, need to be removed. Next, grind the mass in a meat grinder or using a blender, place it in an enamel or copper bowl, and add sugar.

Since we have crushed the fruits, there is no need to leave them for several hours until the juice appears; you can immediately start cooking. We repeat this procedure three times.

Gooseberries are special berries - under the crispy skin there is a ready-made jelly mass with a delicate taste and subtle aroma. Ripe fruits are incredibly tasty and refreshing in the heat. To enjoy your favorite delicacy all year round, it is prepared in a variety of ways, combining it with fruits, berries and spices.

Gooseberry jam with orange is one of the most successful canning options. It has a perfectly balanced taste, stores well and is very healthy. This dessert is especially valuable in winter, when not only the taste of the product is important, but also its ability to support the immune system, saturate the body with vitamins and simply delight with summer colors and aromas.

Principles of preparing a prefabricated dessert

Gooseberry jam with oranges can be prepared according to different recipes, the result will always be successful. The combination of flavors in this dessert is extremely harmonious: the delicate, subtle aroma of berries is complemented by citrus notes, and a pronounced sourness appears. The consistency of the combined jam is noticeably thicker than when prepared separately, and the color becomes brighter and more transparent.

When combining fruits, it is important to follow several rules:

  1. 1. Jam made with syrup becomes thicker when heated for a long time, while crushed or mashed jam, on the contrary, can lose its jelly structure.
  2. 2. When using whole citrus fruits, be sure to get rid of excess bitterness. The easiest way is to peel the fruit and remove the white, loose layer on the inside of the citrus.
  3. 3. Orange zest is rich in pectin and, in addition to flavor, adds viscosity to the dessert. If you use a significant amount of citrus fruits, you should not add all the peeled zest to the jam, this can spoil the taste. It is enough to take a component from one orange per kilogram of berries.
  4. 4. Jelly-like preparations, jams and thick jam from gooseberries and oranges acquire their final consistency already in the jar during storage. You should take this into account when cooking and do not heat desserts longer than indicated in the recipes.

The pits removed from oranges can be used to make jam. This is done to thicken the product and give it a spicy bitterness. After soaking them for 10 hours in a small amount of water, the resulting jelly-like mass is introduced into the dessert while boiling.

When preparing gooseberries for the winter, oranges and lemons act as additional preservatives. Their addition to recipes not only enriches the composition with vitamins, but also allows you to enjoy the product longer. The first important step, on which the quality of the jam and its shelf life depends, is the preparation of fruits and berries.

How to prepare oranges and gooseberries?

Choose fruits and berries for jam according to your taste: color, size and variety can be any. For different types of gooseberries, there are special recipes that reveal the characteristics of the berries. The main thing is to prepare the ingredients correctly so as not to accidentally spoil the fruits of your labors.

Rules for preparing gooseberries and oranges for processing:

  1. 1. Gooseberries for jam with whole fruits should be slightly unripe; overripe berries are taken for crushed or mashed preparations.
  2. 2. The berries are thoroughly washed, removing spoiled, unripe and covered with a grayish coating. The tails on both sides are cut off with scissors.
  3. 3. It is recommended to remove seeds from large fruits: cut the gooseberry on one side and take out the contents, trying not to disturb the shape. Small fruits are pricked with a needle so that they do not crack during cooking and are evenly soaked in sugar.
  4. 4. You can remove the bitterness from oranges in several ways: by soaking the whole orange in water for 12 hours, removing the white layer under the orange peel, or by blanching the citruses in boiling water for 15 minutes.
  5. 5. Oranges from which the zest is removed for dessert or processed with the peel are washed especially carefully: with a brush, under running water, followed by scalding. This removes traces of possible chemical treatments during cultivation and storage.

Jam can also be made from frozen gooseberries. In this case, processing occurs before cooling; the already cleaned, washed product is frozen. Prepared fruits can be sent for canning according to any of the proposed recipes.

A simple recipe for gooseberry and orange jam

It is expected to use fruits of any color and size; you can take a mixture of different berries. The jam has a simple composition and proportions:

  • 1 part sugar;
  • 1 part gooseberry;
  • 2 medium oranges for every kilogram of mixture.

Preparation process:

  1. 1. Citrus fruits are cut with peel into pieces of arbitrary shape.
  2. 2. Together with the prepared berries, pass through a meat grinder or crumble in a blender.
  3. 3. The resulting mass is poured into an enamel cooking vessel or a thick-walled pan.
  4. 4. Pour in the entire measured portion of sugar and slowly heat to a boil over low heat.
  5. 5. Cook with constant stirring for at least 20 minutes and immediately pour into sterile, warm jars.

The hot workpieces are tightly screwed with special lids for preservation. Cool, wrapped warmly, to room temperature and send to a dark, cool place. A properly prepared and canned dessert can be stored for a long time without refrigeration under normal home conditions.


All kitchen utensils involved in preservation: jars, lids, pouring spoons must be sterilized. When using untreated utensils, the likelihood of the jam turning sour within a few days increases.

Quick five-minute recipe

The quick method assumes that the dessert is cooked for no longer than 5 minutes. The preservation of the product is partly enhanced by the increased amount of sugar, but it is still worth storing the “five-minute” in a cool place.

Required ingredients:

  • gooseberries - 1 kg;
  • granulated sugar - 1.5 kg;
  • large oranges - 2 pcs.;
  • drinking water - 2 glasses.

For this cooking method, syrup is prepared separately from the entire amount of sugar and water. The solution is brought to a boil immediately in a wide cooking vessel. Oranges are cut into small cubes, preferably without peel. If desired, use the zest taken from one fruit.


Cooking process step by step:

  1. 1. Pour the prepared mixture of berries and orange slices into a boiling sugar solution.
  2. 2. Heat quickly over high heat (no longer than 5 minutes) and remove from the stove.
  3. 3. Let the mixture sit for 8 to 10 hours for uniform impregnation.
  4. 4. When the berries become almost transparent, heat the mixture and cook for another 5 minutes.

The hot treat is packaged in sterile containers and cooled slowly. If you plan to store the workpiece at room temperature, the last cooking is extended to 10 minutes.

Gooseberries with orange without cooking

The cold method of making jam preserves all the beneficial properties and the summer, fresh taste of the fruit. The dessert is prepared very quickly; it only takes time for the grains of sugar to completely dissolve. Despite the increased sweetness, it is better to store the product in the refrigerator - the sweet berry mass is prone to fermentation when warm.


For dessert without cooking, the proportion of berries to sugar is 1:2. For 1 kg of gooseberries add 2-3 oranges. If all the fruits are quite sweet, then one of the oranges can be replaced with lemon: from half to 1 whole. This will increase the vitamin value of the product and increase its shelf life.

The cooking process is not difficult. You need to grind the prepared berries and citrus fruits in a blender or pass through a meat grinder. After mixing the mixture with sugar, you need to wait for the sweet crystals to dissolve for 15 to 30 minutes. Place the product in sterile jars. There is no need to hermetically seal the workpieces; ordinary nylon caps are sufficient. In this form, the healthy dessert is sent to the refrigerator.

Ruby red berry jam

Orange peel added to gooseberry jam gives the product an amazing ruby ​​hue, thick consistency and an interesting, rich taste. This recipe only requires citrus peels. An unusual ingredient is a small amount of an alcohol-containing drink, which loses its properties during cooking. The alcohol evaporates, so the dessert can be consumed by children.


For unusual jam you will need the following ingredients:

  • red gooseberries - 1 kg;
  • peel from two oranges;
  • granulated sugar - 1.5 kg;
  • vodka, liqueur or tincture - 50 ml.

Oranges should be washed thoroughly, removing plaque. Sorted, washed gooseberries are removed from the tails and often pricked with a toothpick. This way the sweet alcohol impregnation will evenly penetrate the berries. Then prepare it like this:

  1. 1. Soak orange peels in water for at least 2 hours, during which time they will become softer and lose their bitterness.
  2. 2. Cut the peel into thin, neat strips; the attractiveness of the appearance of the dessert will depend on its size.
  3. 3. The berries are placed in a cooking basin, chopped peel is added, covered with sugar and poured over with an alcoholic drink.
  4. 4. Leave the mixture for 2 hours to soak. During this time, it should be carefully stirred several times to ensure that the sugar is evenly dissolved and syrup is formed.
  5. 5. Place the workpiece on the lowest heat and slowly bring to a boil. The product should be cooked until the berries soften and the liquid evaporates.

If desired, the mass can be kneaded or crushed. The finished jam is canned in the standard way or simply placed in containers for storage in the refrigerator.

Jam with kiwi

An unusual dessert is made with kiwi fruits. The green tropical fruit is very similar to gooseberries in consistency and highlights its color and flavor well. Orange adds spice and transparency to the delicate mass. For jam you will need the following products:

  • green gooseberries - 1 kg;
  • large oranges - 4 pcs.;
  • 5-6 ripe kiwi fruits;
  • sugar - 2 kg.

Oranges are peeled and, if possible, thick films and partitions between the segments are removed. The kiwi is peeled and cut into arbitrary pieces.


Cooking steps:

  1. 1. All prepared fruits are crushed using a meat grinder or blender.
  2. 2. Transfer the resulting puree into a saucepan and add sugar. Leave the mixture for several hours until the grains are completely dissolved.
  3. 3. Slowly heat the mixture to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Before the next step, the workpiece must cool completely.
  4. 4. Heat the mass a second time, stirring constantly. After waiting for the mixture to boil, boil it for 20 minutes.

The finished treat can be cooled a little and then placed in sterile jars with a tight seal.

Emerald jam

Jam made from dark green gooseberries will create an exquisite shade using one not very ordinary ingredient.

If you add a few cherry leaves to the water for soaking gooseberries or when blanching, the berries will retain their color during cooking and their hue will become emerald.


To prepare a beautiful and healthy delicacy, slightly unripe dark green berries are suitable. If you replace one of the oranges with a lemon, the syrup will be clearer, but the color may fade. The jam is prepared in two stages and will require the following ingredients:

  • gooseberry fruits - 3 kg;
  • citrus fruits - 4 pcs.;
  • sugar - 3 kg.

Another peculiarity of the recipe is that it is proposed to use only the liquid fraction of oranges, without zest and pulp. Therefore, the juice is squeezed out of citrus fruits before cooking. Next steps:

  1. 1. Place the prepared gooseberries in a saucepan or cauldron, pour orange juice into it and add sugar.
  2. 2. The mixture is quickly brought to a boil and immediately turned off, set aside to infuse for 3-4 hours.
  3. 3. During the next heating, after boiling, the workpiece is boiled for about an hour.
  4. 4. Leave the jam for 8 hours (for example, overnight) to infuse.
  5. 5. The third stage of heating may not be long and depends on the desired thickness of the dessert.

The boiled delicacy is poured into jars. The proposed quantity of products is enough to fill at least 10 jars with a capacity of 0.5 liters. Hermetically sealed preparations, while maintaining sterile preservation, are well preserved at room temperature.

Cooking method in a slow cooker

A simple recipe with simple preparation is used if you have a modern kitchen unit - a multicooker. By placing food in the bowl, you don’t have to worry about the temperature and heating time. The fruits will cook evenly and the syrup will be thick.

Ingredients for bookmark:

  • berries - 1 kg;
  • orange - 1 pc.;
  • sugar - 700 g.

If there is no “jam” position on the multicooker panel, you can set the “soup” or “stew” mode and the timer for 2 hours. The jam is prepared in small portions, because the bowl cannot be filled more than half the volume - the mass will foam and may overflow.

Preparation:

  1. 1. Grate the zest from the orange and cut the pulp into cubes.
  2. 2. Place the prepared gooseberries, citrus fruits and sugar into a bowl in layers.
