I recently tried the Gooseberry and Chamomile Jam and it was simply great. My kids loved it spread on their toast during breakfast. It's very easy to make, and it brings a lovely herbal twist to mornings. Now, I can't imagine my kitchen without a jar of this jam

I absolutely love making Gooseberry and Chamomile Jam! It’s so easy to prepare. Last week, my kids helped pick the berries and they had a blast! We spread it on our toast with butter and enjoyed it with tea. It made our breakfast sooo special.
