Hoping to have some of it when I come to Delhi
It sounds delicious. I had a great time making wild plum jam when I was in Melbourne in December. My trees were bowed down with the plums. I did much the same, but then decided to put in less sugar. Most of it went to friends with strict instructions to have the jam soon. The rest I froze. Hoping to see how that works out.

Hi I was just looking through the journal and saw your Gooseberries I have a few bushes in UK and they usually are green and pretty sharp, there are yellow ones, but I managed to get a slip or two and planted from a rather nice variety, These are usually reddish later in the year but this last year for some reason probably because the birds didn't take them they turned real red. If you would like to see an example go to my blog in journal I'll post them three slots back as I have shown them before. I gave my sister a lot, I shall have to ask her for a pot of jam, but I really like blackberry and apple best sorry.

Fresh gooseberries are very hard to find here. Years ago an auntie used to grow them on her farm and I could have all I wanted. My gooseberry pies were wonderful. I'm drooling at the thought of them.
