All berries are tasty and healthy in their own way, and therefore I would like to taste them all year round. Gooseberry lovers know how to make from it not only compote, juice, jam and other traditional preparations, but also very unusual dishes... Perhaps only gooseberries are marinated, and adjika, sauces and seasonings are also prepared on its basis.

Whichever method of cooking gooseberries is chosen, you must first select and prepare the berries correctly. Fruits should be ripe, medium in size, with a thin skin, fresh, whole, not wrinkled, and most importantly - unspoiled, without rot. For some recipes, wrinkled, slightly damaged fruits may also work, but only for those in which they will need to be ground or crushed.

The berries are prepared as follows: we remove all the garbage from them - twigs, leaves; helping ourselves with a knife, remove dried flower remnants and a tail from the fruit; wash them thoroughly and then dry them.

In the process, we sort the gooseberries according to their intended purpose for the upcoming processing in accordance with the selected recipes. We discard completely unsuitable for anything. Gooseberry blanks for the winter are packaged in cans under nylon or disposable metal lids intended for seaming, or in bottles and jars with screw caps.

For different recipes, one or another method is more preferable. Jars and lids must be thoroughly washed and sterilized. If the finished gooseberry dish is packed hot, after closing the jars are placed on the lid, and the bottles are placed on their side. Then the containers are well wrapped with a thick warm blanket or something similar. When they have cooled to room temperature, they are taken to a cool and dark storage area.

Freezing is the easiest and quick way ... But its main advantage is that it allows you to preserve the aroma, taste and appearance of frozen fruits, and most importantly - all vitamins and useful microelements.

To freeze the gooseberries, the prepared berries must be laid out in 1 layer on a clean flat stand (cutting board), and then placed on it in the freezer. Then we turn on the quick freeze and after an hour we remove the frozen berries from the freezer, put them in prepared containers - plastic bags or plastic containers. We tie the first ones, leaving a little free space inside, and the second ones are tightly closed. Then we return the prepackaged berries to the freezer.

You can do without quick freezing. Gooseberries are immediately packed in the same container, but in portions - they put as much as you need to eat or use for cooking at a time. This is due to the fact that the berries cannot be re-frozen. Then the fruits in the container, which are left open, are placed in the freezer. After a day, the berries in the container are closed - the bags are tied, the containers are closed with lids - and returned to the freezer.

For pickled gooseberries, not only ripe berries are suitable, but also slightly underripe ones. To make 1 liter of the finished product, we take:

  • berries - 700 g;
  • allspice (peas) - 3 pcs;
  • cinnamon (ground) - 0.5 g;
  • black currant leaves - to taste;
  • cloves (buds) - 3 pcs.

For the preparation of the marinade: 300 ml of water; 100 g sugar; 30 g vinegar 6%. We prick the prepared berries, each separately. Then we put spices on the bottom of the can. Fill the gooseberries on top, shaking the container slightly, so that then the pickled berries lie tightly. After that, you need to prepare the marinade: mix all the ingredients for it, and then heat the resulting solution to a boil.

After cooking, pour the berries in a jar with boiled marinade. Place the container with marinated gooseberries in a bowl of hot water and sterilize, covered with a lid, 10 minutes from the start of the boil. After that, roll up the pickled berries.

The jam is especially delicious when cooked with oranges. For such a recipe, you need to take:

  • berries - 1.5 kg;
  • oranges (medium) - 3 pcs;
  • sugar - 2 kg.

Cut the oranges into slices together with the skin. Then we pass them along with the prepared berries through a meat grinder. Pour the resulting mass with sugar and mix. Then we put it on the stove and boil it for 20-25 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Then pour the boiling jam into the jars and roll up or close them with tight plastic lids. This recipe makes 7 half-liter containers.

To make gooseberry compote for the winter, you can use the following simple recipe... For a 3-liter jar we take:

  • berries - 1 l;
  • sugar - 3 tbsp. spoons;
  • water - 2.5 l;
  • dried or fresh lemon balm - to taste.

We put the prepared berries in a jar, and on top we report selected sprigs of lemon balm. Then pour boiling water into the container, close it with a lid and leave to stand for 5 minutes. Then carefully drain the water from the cans back into the pot and heat it. Pour sugar into a container with berries, and then, when it boils, pour the broth up the neck. After that, roll the gooseberry compote for the winter.

To prepare gooseberry juice, its fruits are first crushed: they are crushed with a wooden spoon or crush or passed through a meat grinder. Then the resulting mass is diluted with hot water: for 1 kg of whole berries - 1 glass. The resulting mixture is poured into an enamel container and placed on the stove, heated to 80 ° C and simmered at this temperature, stirring occasionally, for 20-30 minutes.

Then the berry puree should be rubbed through a sieve - after cooking, the juice will be easier to stand out from the juicy pulp of the gooseberry. The resulting juice with pulp is poured into containers and closed with screw caps or rolled up with disposable lids. Before that, sugar or honey can be added to the berry puree to taste. Instead of sugar, you can mix lemon juice - 1 citrus for 1 liter of puree.

To cook "fake adjika", as the gooseberry and garlic seasoning is called, you need to take:

  • berries - 3 glasses;
  • sweet pepper (pods) - 1 pc;
  • chili peppers (pods) - half;
  • garlic (cloves) - 3-5 pieces or more;
  • salt and sugar to taste;
  • parsley and cilantro (bunches) - 1 pc each;
  • vegetable oil - 4 tbsp. spoons.

We prepare all the ingredients - wash, dry and clean. Remove seeds from peppers. We cut everything we need into pieces for easy loading into a blender. Grind everything in it to a puree consistency, into which we then add butter, sugar and salt. It is better to fill small jars with ready-made adjika.

Gooseberries can be used to make a sauce equal to the present Tkemali, which is made from plums of the same name. Required for 1 kg of sauce:

  • berries (cooked puree) - 900 g;
  • greens (dill and parsley or basil and cilantro) - 70 g;
  • garlic (heads) - 1 pc;
  • salt to taste;
  • ground red hot pepper - 5 g (or 2 pods of bitter).

From the prepared berries, we prepare mashed potatoes for the sauce: pour the gooseberries with water (for 1 kg - 0.4 l), and then cook until smooth. We grind it in a stainless colander or sieve with a wooden spoon or pusher. For better wiping, gradually add water to the puree - 1 kg for 1 glass. Then add chopped peppers, herbs, garlic, and salt to the resulting mass. Mix everything, and then simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Pour hot sauce into bottles.
