Put a largish pan of water to boil (about 2/3rds full of water). Add the salt and turmeric powder, stir and let the water come to a boil. Add the gooseberries to the water, turn down the heat and let it simmer uncovered till the gooseberries are soft but not mushy. You will see that some of the gooseberries would have split along the side. To check if theyu2019re done, take one out and let it cool slightly. Press it lightly. It should spilt and the seed should come out easily. Then turn off the heat.

Let it cool a bit and then transfer the gooseberries with the liquid they were boiled in, into sterile glass jars. Make sure the gooseberries are completely covered with the brine. Do not fill the jars to the brim, leaving a little space before covering with the lid.
