Discard the seeds and take the chopped pieces in a blender. I have taken the whole washed gooseberries.

     Gooseberry Jam Recipe for Kids
    Notes :
    • Gooseberry jam becomes thick when cooled down. Hence switch off the fame accordingly.
    • Adding a dash of cinnamon powder or cardamom powder ensures digestion.
    • Adding lemon juice increase shelf life. Don’t skip it.
    • Make sure your kid is not allergic to gooseberries before you try this gooseberry jam.
    • If you are making a larger quantity, pressure cook the gooseberries first and proceed with the remaining steps.
    • Use a clean jar to store the jam. If preparing the jam in large quantities, I would suggest to sterilize the glass jars.
    • Check the jam consistency by place a spoonful of jam in a plate and cool it down. After cooling down, if no water separated then its the correct consistency for a jam.
    • To make it more healthy, I recommend brown sugar or jaggery for making this jam. I ran out of stock so used white sugar this time.
    • Keep it refrigerated and consume with in a couple of weeks. But it keeps well for a month if handled properly.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
