Gooseberries... decisions, decisions

I bought a gooseberry bush last year and I am sure that it was a red variety, but I have since lost the label. I have never had any fruit from it, however I have been closely watching the berries develop and they don't seem to be going very red.

This is what they look like today


I squeezed a couple and they are just starting to give... as I want to turn them into jam I don't want them too ripe. I deliberated, probably for far too long about whether or not to pick them and decided to leave it another week... hopefully I made the right choice.
