I have done jam and have run out of jars! Any ideas anyone?
I made some gooseberry syrup and have frozen it, Katie..nice with fizzy water or pop ;D
Freeze them for use at a later date. They freeze really well.

Just freeze them and make pies, crumbles, even jams when ever you want to.
Fresh gooseberry puree (with a touch of sugar) can be frozen in bags or moulds to make lollies.
That delicious fresh taste of dessert gooseberries whenever you want - and you don't notice the pulp and seeds when you eat them.
Unfortunately it's not that simple to make a gooseberry puree because the skins are too tough.
The answer is to squash them, separate the skins from the insides and put the skins and sugar through the blender first.
If that doesn't work (depending on variety and ripeness) then freeze the mix and put it through the blender again.
Don't add the insides until the result is completely smooth.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the ideas, I didn't think of freezing them just as they are, Doh!
