Gooseberry recipes

Gooseberries are one of the few fruits that become more themselves when cooked — their sharp, wine-like flavor deepens under heat and plays perfectly against a buttery oat crumble. Custard or vanilla ice cream is the only acceptable accompaniment.

A fragrant, perfumed jam that combines the sharp tang of gooseberries with the floral delicacy of elderflower cordial — a partnership so natural it seems like these two were born to be together. Gooseberries are naturally high in pectin and set beautifully without commercial pectin added. The result is a pale green-gold jam with a complex, flowery aroma and a lively, bright flavor.
