This takes me back..i stumbled upon your fruit essences video and after scrolling through your channel, recognised the Gooseberry in the thumbnail! That was what my late granny always used to make the most delicious jam... I love all sorts of jam, and tasted almost every sort under the sun - but the gooseberry jam is still my favourite to this day!
From one jam enthusiast to another, I do enjoy gooseberry as well. I have had the chance to try a "hot" gooseberry jam for meats and sausages, that too us delicious.
Decided to make an "adapted" version of this jam today - oh, such a lovely blend of flavors - tangy, tart, sweet with a hint of floral notes. Will plan to serve this with a sweet bake, perhaps Avery's Financier (as mini cakes) or perhaps a brioche. Thanks again, Avery for your guidance when I discovered that I had the incorrect type of gooseberries. 😆
I have seen some recipes using thatCape Gooseberries and Chilli make a nice pairing for a spicy yet sweet and tart sauce. I would say use the same amount of sugar and you can always add if it still too sour.
@@AveryRaassen thanks for the guidance - do you think the jam will go well with your Financier recipe? I can bake in small muffin tins - that will allow my colleagues to “sample” the Financier with the golden berry jam.
It might be super tart but then again, I do love a tart flavour like lemon/ grapefruit/ orange marmalade with almonds. I have never tried it with financier but only with frangipane. I don't see why it wouldn't work. @@Jeepy2-LoveToBake

Plan to make this using Cape Gooseberries (Golden Berries), which I read are tart and sweet - wondering if I should use the same proportion of sugar?
