Well with the glut of fruit on our Plot I decided to make a Gooseberry Crumble and a sauce that not only makes a tasty dressing on the icecream but its a crackin standby for when you want to grill mackeral as its a Top sweet and sour sauce that cuts through the Oily fish flavour.

Goosberry Sauce

2 Tbsp Water

25g of cane sugar(or add more to your taste)


Wash Gooseberries and place in a saucepan with the butter and water,gently heat for 10 mins or so till the fruit has softened.

Mash through a strainer and return to the heat,now add the sugar and let it bubble away,the longer you leave it the thicker the consistency.....add  more sugar to taste.


Keep to one side.
