Notes: 

• When picking the Amla(goose berries) try to pick the larger ones.
• Use minimal water to grind the mixture, it saves the cooking time.You can grind the mixture without adding sugar to eat and add the sugar later. But sugar helps to minimise the water used in grinding as it releases moisture .
• If the big bubbles are bothering you, you may cover and cook it on low flame.
• Do not overcook the jam otherwise it would not be spreadable .
• Amount of sugar you need may vary due to the sourness in the variety of amla you use.
• Though you can skip adding the apple or pear but adding these provides natural pectin.
• It is advised to store the jam in a sterilised jar to increase the shelf life.
