One of the most labor-intensive jam recipes: you need to remove the seeds from each gooseberry, leaving only the "shells". But all the work pays off in spades: the jam turns out transparent, amber-colored and honey-fruity in taste. There is an even more delicate way of cooking "Tsarskoe" jam - this is when instead of seeds, a quarter of a walnut is put into each berry. But this is not even a recipe, but something akin to culinary obedience.
