Cape Gooseberry Jam Recipe

Cape Gooseberry Jam is an easy to make recipe that I have enjoyed so much recently. My little dauhter would remind me every other time about this golden jam since she also enjoys a lot. Some people refer to it as physalis or golden berries, so, it is one and the same thing. It's easy to make this recipe at home.
