In the next step, cook the whole thing over low heat until the fruit softens. Then strain the juice into a new pot, first placing a sieve over it. I recommend squeezing the juice thoroughly with a spoon.
Then add any sweetener (white sugar, birch sugar or erythritol) and mix until the white crystals dissolve.

Pasteurization is necessary if you want to stock up on juice for fall and winter. Then, first, pour the liquid into jars and close them tightly, and cover the bottom of the pot with a cotton cloth.
Then place the dishes at the bottom of the pot and fill them with water up to 3/4 of the height. Boil the jars with gooseberry juice for 20 minutes and finally cool them down. Store preserves in a dark and cool place.
