A recipe from my grandma. She used to make this jam using gooseberries and rhubarb together I sometimes make this when I have a gluten of gooseberries and rhubarb. Adding the ginger is my twist on this recipe.

Steps

1

Stew fruit and ginger in a heavy pan in water untill tender and broken.
2

Add sugar, dissolve - then boil up untill it will set. Remove any scum as the jam boils.
3

Remove from heat as soon as it will set when tested. To test for setting:- place a little jam on a cool plate, let it cool. If it wrinkles when moved slightly it is ready to set.
4

To sterilise jars and lids either place in a warm oven for 5 mins or poor boiling water into them (place a metal spoon in each jar this will prevent the jar from cracking)
5

Fill the jars almost full, place waxed paper on the jam, put on lids to seal and label.
