Ingredients

  • 250 grams about 10-12 gooseberries (amla)
  • pure honey as required
  • a few strands of saffron (optional)

Other things you need

  • 1 clean & dry glass jar

Instructions

  • Wash the gooseberries well. Drain and pat dry. They should be devoid of any moisture so you can leave them to air dry for 20-30 minutes too
  • Using a clean & dry chopping board & knife cut the gooseberries into 3-4 chunky pieces. Discard the seeds.
  • Layer the glass jar alternatively with gooseberries and honey. Drizzle a few strands of saffron if using. Do not fill the jar up to the brim as the gooseberries will slowly begin to release their juices and the jar will overflow. So fill it upto 3/4th full 
  • Cover with a well fitting lid and keep in a cool and dry place of your kitchen. The honey will get diluted with the juices from the goosberries but that's okay. Enjoy some delicious gooseberry chunks every day!
