How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[C&T]

A couple of years ago I got my Gooseberry plant, but this is the first year I am going to get anything like a decent harvest (last year was about 5 gooseberries, thanks to the birds... )

 

This year, they have all been covered up to protect from wild birds as well as the chucks, and I have a lot on there

 

They are a red variety, and half of each fruit has now turned red. Is this sufficient to then make jam with does anyone think? (Strawberry and Gooseberry Jam)

 

Away for the next couple of weekends, and don't want to lose them, and have some time this afternoon to get the pan out...

 

Need reasurance - or to be told to stop being impatient....

[..lay a little egg for me]

Have you tasted them? If they are not too sour, they should be fine. OH made some gooseberry jam at the weekend with our green ones and it was great.

Gooseberry Jam would be fine, whatever stage they are at. Jam made with green gosseberries turns into a wonderful red preserve when jammed - and has a lovely tart taste along with the sweetness.

Well, from my little bush, I had nearly a pound of gooseberries

 

Added them to 2 pounds of half price Strawberries, and have made some delicious Jam!

 

(Had some of the s"Ooops, word censored!"ings on my toast this morning!! Yum!! Rest will be put in the cupboard for a while...)

 

Parents will be upset.... I had no small empty jars, and am refusing to give away a large jar, so they aren't going to see any of it!!
