Remove the stems from the gooseberries and place them in a blender along with the syrup, lime juice, and mint leaves. Bring the pureed mixture to a boil with the preserving sugar and simmer for about 4-5 minutes. Pour everything into jars, seal, and let cool. Adjust the mint according to your desired intensity, depending on how strong you want the flavor. I used Swiss mint, and it tasted like a hint of mint.
