Delicious! I'd never tasted a gooseberry before, and wasn't sure what to expect. My jam turned out great, perfect sweet/tart combo, and such a beautiful colour. My family loves it too! - 29 Sep 2008

Not having a food mill, I crushed my berries in a food processor on "chop". Nice texture, good jam consistency, delicious! - 30 Jun 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
