Gooseberries

DSC_2137

The crop! These are off one scraggy bush in the garden that was surrounded by stinging nettles. There is one red one somewhere in the jug from another bush but that one didn’t fruit well and we only found the one. I’m thinking if making a gooseberry and apple pie or cake. I think I’ve got the ingredients in to make one.

Gooseberries are not that popular and have a distinct taste. I can’t explain it, sour, green and fresh? I don’t know if you can buy them from a shop or supermarket, because they are a bit unusual. If I make something I might post a photo.

  1. My father used to grow Gooseberries . As a child I can remember the dessert pies my mum made with gooseberries which I guess had a heap of sugar added. The homemade buttery flakey pastry was the highlight for me.
