Gooseberries
Welcome to Lorraine via Bloglovin, glad to have you aboard the old Norfolk Express.
When it comes to slicing gooseberries for my dehydrating trial, I must admit, I have shown a remarkable amount of patience!
My 2lb bowl of berries (pour harvest this year):
Made 3 full trays of slices:
Which in turn produced, one small jar of dried, tart loveliness:
There is still half a tray drying and I filled the last tray with some slices of pear. I have no idea at present what I shall use them for, but something will spring to mind. I probably won't repeat this but was curious!

You will run out of jars soon at this rate lol x
ReplyDeleteStill got a few left for tomatoes, hopefully.
DeleteThat was dedication! I love gooseberry jam so any that I acquire here go straight in the jam pan, unless the FH gets to them first, when he freezes them to add to his breakfast fruit medley. I do raid the freezer occasionally and still jam them, especially when making strawberry jam as the addition of a handful of gooseberries just helps the jam to firm up a little. Enjoy your gooseberries!
ReplyDeleteWe do the same normally but fancied something different this year!
DeleteGoodness, it's fiddly enough topping and tailing but slicing takes fiddlyness to a whole new level! Now picked and sold 229 x500g punnets here plus 13lb in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteIt was just a one off trial. Like you say, far too fiddly. Might be due to the area being flooded last year?
DeleteI envy your gooseberry joys...I had 6!! Mo x
