Tart gooseberries are balanced by the sweetness of onions. If gooseberries aren't available, use sour pie cherries, canned or fresh.

Since gooseberries are rich in pectin, make this jam the old-fashioned way, without commercial pectin. If the jam will be used soon, or frozen, there is no need to bother with canning it. Jam will keep for weeks in the refrigerator. Makes 3 to 4, 1/2 pint jars.

Tart gooseberries pair especially well with pork. This recipe uses fresh gooseberries; if using canned, taste for sweetness before adding sugar. May be doubled or tripled.
