Thanks Yvonne. Just what I was looking for. I found a recipe in the Waitrose website but I think yours is better.Making chutney as I type this!!

I have only one gooseberry bush but it is laden with fruit, I haven't had much time to pick it and unfortunately most of the fruit is now too ripe. I have used 6lbs of fruit so far and there must be at least another 8lbs to pick..

Gooseberry Jam

2 quarts fresh gooseberries
6 cups white sugar
1/2 (6 fluid ounce) container liquid pectin

Remove blossom and stem ends from gooseberries. Force berries through food mill. Measure 4 cups of the berry mash into a large pot. Stir in the sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in pectin at once. Skim off any foam with a large metal spoon.
Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Take turns with skimming foam, and stirring the berry mixture for 5 minutes to let it cool slightly. Ladle into hot sterile jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
