What do you make with these tart little gems? I tend to associate them as an interesting dessert garnish. Right now we have a little cache of green, slightly dried fresh gooseberries. Don't taste as tart right now, so I'll just put them in my oatmeal tomorrow.

A shame really..

Take a look at healthy-eating-made-easy and look for gooseberry recipes; or just search the web for gooseberry recipes. Lots of good stuff out there. Are your gooseberries all green or do they have a pink tinge to them. There are two types of gooseberries. The green are best cooked and the pink ones can be eaten fresh.

I didn't know this difference. Thanks. :)

We have friends that make pies and jam from their gooseberries.
