Gooseberry Jam is the biggest disappointment of all food-stuffs I grew up with. I have yet to find anything remotely comparable to that "Granny" used to make or manufactured by the three main processed food companies back home.
This particular brand too fails to meet up. All the Gooseberry Jams manufactured in the UK too fall far short.
Last week I made the terrible mistake of purchasing three jars of Swedish Gooseberry Preserves from ikea ... yugh ... by far the worst.
The best available in the US of A is from one of the South African Speciality Food Stores within the US.
The search goes on ... sigh ...If you love gooseberries, be prepared to be ordering this jam by the case. A wonderful, not too sweet jam, great on toast or toasted croissants. Wonderful flavor and consistency.....a spoon out of the jar is heaven.Being from Czech Republic, I grew up on gooseberries, so I'm always hunting for good jams here in the States. This one is by far the best I've come across! Not too sweet, very fruity, yummy straight from the jar or on toast/waffles. I'm about to order a bunch more.Gooseberry jam isn't easy to find. Although this is no way like my Granny used to make with the gooseberrys from her garden, we still enjoy this brand and special order it a couple jars at a time. Good with breakfast toast....yum.I grew up eating gooseberry jam so i had high expectations and standards when i bought this jam online..It was packaged beautifully and arrived promptly, but i am afraid that while the taste is acceptable its not 5-star quality...I enjoy a sweet fruit spread, but this jam is very tart...I did not get any hint of sweetness at all unfortunately..it is, however, not bad, and has a good gooseberry taste to it...just not what i expected or desired...but, if you like your jam tart and tangy, this may well be a great match for your palate!!
