How to make gooseberry elderflower jam

Rinse and cut off the flower and the little stem. Add water and boil until the berries have broken into a mash.

Add sugar and Elderflowers and boil until it sets. To see whether it has set or not put some on a cold plate and run your finger thru the cold jam. If it makes wrinkles it is done, if not boil on.
