Author: Kalyani
Recipe type: Homemade
Cuisine: World
Serves: ½ cup
Ingredients
  • Indian Gooseberries - 6 big ones
  • Water - 2 tbsp
  • Jaggery/Brown Sugar/White Sugar - ¼ cup + 2 tbsp
  • Cinnamon powder/cardamom powder - ⅛ tsp
  • Lemon Juice - ½ Tsp
Instructions
  1. Keep Sugar/jaggery/brown sugar & lemon juice ready. Wash the gooseberries in running water thoroughly with little bit salt. If you are making a larger quantity, pressure cooks the gooseberries first and proceed with the remaining steps. Then place them in cutting board and chop them into pieces. Discard the seeds and take the chopped pieces in a blender. I have taken the whole washed gooseberries.
  2. Give a run and discard the seeds (skip this step if you chopped the gooseberries and discarded the seeds already). Then grind them into a slightly coarse or smooth paste. Add little water while grinding.
  3. Transfer the pureed gooseberries into a thick bottomed pan and add sugar/jaggery powder, cinnamon powder/cardamom powder along with lemon juice. Mix well. Keep stirring it in low, medium flame and make sure to not to burn the bottom.
  4. The mix will start to bubble up nicely, keep stirring. When the jam-like consistency is reached, switch off the flame.

 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.
