gooseberry relish
(by Yotam Ottolenghi)

750g gooseberries or plums
180g  sugar
1/2 orange (rind shaved in strips)
10g fresh root ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
1 cinnamon stick

Place the gooseberries, the sugar, the orange rind, ginger and cinnamon in a sauce pan and cook on medium-low heat for roughly 30 minutes, until a semi thick compote consistency has formed. Set aside to cool.

  1. I have made this recipe with both gooseberries and plums. I have an issue with cooking time. In each case, the water content generated from the added sugar to the fruit takes about 1 hr 30mins to boil down to the consistency in this recipe. Either I’m doing something wrong or the quantities are not correct.
