Gooseberries - 1 heaped cup
Sugar 3/4 cup
Water - 1/4 cup
Honey - 2 tblspn
Cardamom - a pinch

Method

Wash and dry the berries. Prick with a skewer/toothpick at few places on each berry. Prepare sugar syrup. When the syrup is sticky, i.e. prior to one thread consistency, add the berries and turn well. The moisture released from the berries will make the syrup thin. Continue cooking till the syrup attains the one thread consistency. Add honey and cardamom powder. Cook for 2 minutes and remove from fire. Cool and store in dry glass jar.

Since the berries are also cooked, it gets soaked faster. You can eat the berries the next day itself. But as it ages, it gets more soft and tastes better with soaking. You drizzle the syrup on poories, rotis or bread too. The syrup tastes delicious with the juice of the gooseberries blended in.

Amla+Lemonade+(3).JPG


Amla / Gooseberry - 10
Lemon juice - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 3/4 - 1 cup
Water - 1/2 cup

How I Made it:

De-seed the amla. Pulse it with some water till smooth and the juices have separated as shown below.



Strain and separate the juice. Add sugar with water and boil till sugar is dissolved and you get one-string consistency.



Add the lemon juice and mix well. Next add the amla juice. Mix well, cool down and store in bottles.

Today I learned what I call amla, the rest call gooseberry.

And I thought the real gooseberry was what I call rasberry
