RE: How to make sweetened Indian gooseberries(آملہ)
Wow, gooseberries - I forgot when I ate them, in childhood they grew in our family (my father used to salt them) and both grandfathers. There were two types, this one is green, bald, with a lot of hair, and it was smaller in size but hairy.
Now I remember and I can even taste it in my mouth...
I remember how we, a little scared, put our hand into a thorny bush)) the bush was thorny and I wanted berries))
When winter starts in our country, Gooseberries fruit grows on the trees. We make pickles and jams from it. It tastes very delicious and both children and adults eat it with great pleasure. Its fruit tastes very sour. It cannot be eaten without salt. Therefore, jams or pickles are made from it so that it can be eaten easily.But his tree has no thorns and his tree grows big.
Our gooseberry is a bush, no higher than a meter)) and with thorns))
The species was very similar, especially since the name (word) is the same. But botanically, these are completely different species from different families.

The ones found in our area are of this type. They grow on a tree and have no thorns or hairs on them, and they have a single seed inside, like a plum, as you can see in the picture.
