True Love

Jason loves gooseberries. I'm not a huge fan. They are super sour, and extremely seedy. But, they do make for a pretty plant. Jason has 3 gooseberry bushes at my mom's house. Last year they had a little bit of fruit, but Rylan ate them all before they were even ripe. We were told "a bird ate them" even though we saw him over there grazing. This year they were loaded. I know Jason has fond memories of gooseberry jelly, so I (with mom's help) made a batch today. Now that is true love...what a time consuming process! It took me an hour to pick them, an hour to clean them, and then another hour to get everything ready and actually make it. However, I have to admit, it is darned good. Apparently anything is good if you add enough sugar!
