Tis plant appeared from no-where and sadly there haven't been any self sewn ones this year. I've just found the berries in my freezer so am going to make your jam recipe and see how it tastes.

Just had a slice of toast with it on, fantastic!! I used Cape Gooseberries, the yellow ones - thanks!

I think I'll pick out some good ripe berries and halve them to add after I've blended the rest. I was surprised to hear they have them in India because they're from Slovakia originally. Wild ones have a red cape and berry. The yellow, which taste much better, were originally used to dip in chocolate. The cape and a little stalk left on, (but not dipped).Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132092133563675311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714703651894102540.post-7128698336548180012011-04-05T12:30:50.094+05:302011-04-05T12:30:50.094+05:30i was looking for a recipie that has apple in it t...i was looking for a recipie that has apple in it tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714703651894102540.post-54459072941282263422011-03-14T15:49:14.144+05:302011-03-14T15:49:14.144+05:30To be tried, today!To be tried, today!Ra. rahul_doeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372870570822233219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714703651894102540.post-12279018167582347742011-03-03T06:58:01.700+05:302011-03-03T06:58:01.700+05:30That picture brought back some wonderful memories ...That picture brought back some wonderful memories of my childhood when in the Winter, my Dad would make jars of the jam and we used it as a spread on bread, chapati and parathas.
