Gooseberry recipes

An exquisite summer tart that celebrates one of the great classic pairings in British cookery — sharp gooseberry with fragrant elderflower. The tart has a crisp pastry case, a light elderflower custard filling, and a tumble of sweet-soft gooseberries on top, glazed to a beautiful shine.

A quintessentially British summer jam that pairs the tart, natural pectin-rich gooseberry with the delicate, muscat-scented fragrance of elderflower. It sets beautifully and spreads like a dream on warm scones or thick buttered toast. Make it in June or early July when both gooseberries and elderflowers are at their peak.
