Anyone got any recipes that might tempt my gooseberry-hating family? Did Gooseberry fool last year but they weren't`that impressed!

Gooseberry and apple crumble is lubberly.  So is goosegog jam and goosegog chutters.  I did goosegog pie last year - ala Delia, but to be honest, if your family don't like them, I don't think they will go for any of those...well, except the crumble I guess as you could use more apple than gooseys....

They do make great jam so how about jam based puddings in the out season?
???

... anyone got a goosegog ice cream or sorbet recipe please?

Gooseberry and elderflower wine is one of the best I ever made.

We like gooseberry sauce with mackerel. It goes really well. You just cook the goosegogs add a little sugar (not too much) and a little cornflour to thicken. Takes the greasiness away from the fish. Try it you may be surprised

Loads of elderflower round here, so must remember that one for next year!

I've got a recipe for gooseberry gin/vodka, but we haven't tried it yet.  Will post it in the drinks section if anyone's interested.

Greyhound, that sounds interesting - just catching up on posts as I have been away!  Please could you post the recipe as I have lots of gooseberries to use up.  Thanks T.
