Question

I have masses of them!

Answer 1

Title: Red Gooseberry and Orange Jam
Categories: canning, jams/jellys
Yield: 1 batch

2 lb ripe red gooseberries
1 lg orange
6 oz raisins
1 lb sugar

Top and tail the gooseberries. Put them in a pot with the thinly pared and
finely shredded orange peel and the chopped pulp. Cook the fruit until
nearly tender; add the raisins and the sugar, and boil - not too fast - for
15 minutes or longer (or until the setting point is reached.) Pot and
seal while still hot.

This jam is nicest made with ripe red gooseberries, but yellow ones can be
used if they are not too ripe.

Answer 2

Chocolate Dipped Gooseberries Recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse

Recipe Summary
Yield: 2 dozen

1 cup fondant
2 tablespoons simple syrup
1/2 pound semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 dozen fresh cape gooseberries, husks on

In the bowl of a small double boiler, combine the fondant and 2 tablespoons of the simple syrup. Heat the fondant, stirring with a wooden spoon. The mixture should be light but able to coat the back of a spoon. If the mixture is too thick, add some of the remaining simple syrup. In another double boiler heat the chocolate, stirring occasionally until the chocolate melts. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel back the husks from each berry. Holding the husks, dip each berry 3/4 of the way in the fondant. Place the berries on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until the fondant is firm to the touch, about 30 minutes. Holding the husk, dip each berry in the melted chocolate. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm to the touch, about 30 minutes. Remove and serve on a serving platter.

Answer 3

A nice cobbler would go over well. Just cook the gooseberrys over the stove with some water and about a tablespoon of cornstarch. Cook it until it thickens. Then pour it into a baking dish and make a simple crumb topping and put it on the berrites. Bake 350 for about 25-30 minutes.

Answer 4

Make a fresh gooseberry chutney, snip off the tops and tails of the berries and pop then in a hot pan with a measure of white wine vinegar and sugar to taste, cook slowly for about 15mins and the juice is reduced, then serve with crisply roasted duck, very nice. The quantities of sugar and vinegar depend on how much gooseberry you use, do it to taste you can always add more of either.
