Maria and husband and look at what she is holding.....a bottle of my gooseberry preservesBon apetit Maria!
Gooseberry one, gooseberry two, gooseberry by the hundreds in my kitchen and I am busy making preserves. These are a favourite with everyone. I started using the the 2:1 ratio 2 cups of fruit to 1 cup of sugar and made around 26 bottles. Then I decided to do a reduced sugar for those who are watching their sugar intake and I used the 3:1 ratio. I think I will continue to use this ratio since it will appeal to most of us and there is just a slight difference in sweetness. I am hoping to make around 60 bottles and I will keep them for my garden sale or any other events I participate in. I had a very special visitor on Sunday, someone who was visiting my blog and was going to be visiting Barbados. She asked if she can visit my garden and of course knowing the show off I am, I gladly welcomed her. Thank you Maria and hubby for visiting my rustic bajan garden!
