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
Ingredients
450g of Green or red Gooseberries
2 Tbsp Water
20g Butter
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.
