📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare lids, jars and water bath canner.
cold water (or juice)7 cups

Once Clear Jel has completely dissolved, set heat to medium-high and stir or whisk the mixture as it begins to thicken.

When the mixture begins to bubble, add the lemon juice, stirring constantly. Boil for one minute.
7
Remove from heat and fold in your warm, drained gooseberries.

Immediately ladle into prepared canning jars, de-bubbling the mixture, and leaving 1 inch headspace. Apply 2-part canning lids and process in a water bath canner for ⏱️ 30 minutes, adjusting for your altitude.

Once processing time is complete, turn off the heat and allow the jars to sit for another ⏱️ 10 minutes. This will reduce the chance of siphoning. Remove with a jar lifter and place atop a towel to cool.
10
Check the seals after 12 to ⏱️ 24 hours. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator to be used promptly. Properly canned and sealed pie filling will maintain peak quality for 12 months. Refrigerate jars after opening.
