With gooseberries hanging off the bushes my June fruit crop is gooseberries, plums, rhubarb, strawberries and black currants. Makes for a busy month to say the least. As my service berry/june berry trees and mulberry trees mature that will add 2 more fruit crops to June. But I still have frozen gooseberries from last year’s harvest. So to make room for the new fruit in the freezer I decided to can some gooseberry pie filling. This will also make it shelf stable for years to come. I use it for pies and cobblers or add it to cake mix for a dump cake or even to the top of cheesecake. It is also great over vanilla ice cream. Gooseberry Pie Filling1 3/4 cups clear jel7 cups sugar3 tsp cinnamon1/2 tsp nutmeg7 cups water1/2 cup lemon juice7 cups cleaned gooseberries. 1.
