Equipment

  • 8 jelly jars
  • cheese cloth
  • jar gripper
  • 3 large sauce pots
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • clothes pins

Ingredients
  

  • gallon gooseberries
  • enough water to cover the berries
  • 1 cup additional water to add to the juice that is produces
  • Sure-Jell Fruit Pectin
  • 3 cups granulated monk fruit sweetener

Instructions
 

  • Remove the lids and discs from the jelly jars and wash them with warm soapy water, then place them in a pot of water. Bring them to a boil, and allow them to continue to boil right up until you remove them to fill with jelly.
  • Lay out a towel and a cooling rack for the hot jars, and use clothes pins to fasten four layers of cheesecloth over the top of a saucepan to strain the juice.
  • Place the berries in another saucepan and cover with water. Bring this to a boil, and allow to boil for 20 minutes. Stir and mash the berries to encourage them to release all of their juices. Remove from the heat.
  • Carefully pour this mixture over the cheesecloth and allow it to drip into the prepared saucepan. Once the drip slows, take tinfoil and bundle the berry mash in the cheesecloth. Carefully squeeze any remaining juice into the saucepan.
  • Measure out 3 cups of juice. Place the juice into a saucepan and add 1 cups of water and one package of Sure Jell. Bring to a roiling boil, while stirring constantly. Add the sugar and bring back to a boil. Once boiling set a timer for exactly one minute. Remove from the heat, and skim off any foam.
  • Use the Secure Grip Jar Lifter to place the hot jars and lids onto a towel. Pour the mixture into the prepared jars leaving about a 1/4 inch of space at the top. Screw the lids on tightly and set on a cooling rack. The seals on the jars will make a popping sound as they seal. After the jars have cooled check the seals by pressing on the center of the lid. If the seal pops back and forth, then a proper seal was not achieved, and that jar should be kept refrigerated.

Notes

 
*For every 3 cups of juice that is produced by boiling and squeezing the berry mash, add one cup of water, 3 cups of monk fruit sweetener and 1 package of Sure Jell. The exact amount of juice produced will always vary somewhat, but this is the template that Grandma uses!
