Got Me Some Gooseberries.....
Always one to try something new, I spontaneously picked up a pint of gooseberries (the hard, green type). Not knowing what they tasted like, when I got home, I washed one, and popped it in my mouth.
BLEEEECH!!!
It was SO sour! I actually spit it out.
When I googled 'gooseberries', I only got recipes which required cooking the berries beforehand.
My question is, does anyone have any recipes using gooseberries? Or am I stuck with a pint of little green, sour devils?
Thanks!

yes...Funny i just made a gooseberrie pie tonight...
Make a base for your pie first i used walnuts cause that is all i had,so vita-mix them up and mix in some cinnamon, yacon syrup to sweeten , mesquite meal and a little bit of coconut butter .
Press into a dish and leave to set in the refrigerator.
Next to make your filling vita-mix your gooseberries and sweeten to your taste with yacon syrup next add in some chian seeds that have been soaked for a few hours in fresh spring water.
Vita-mix it all up again and pour ontop of pie base.
Leave to set, this could take overnight if you can wait that long.
Next make a almond creme so use some almonds that you have soaked and peeled by hand, a timly process but worth it. Put into vita-mix and add a bit of mesquite meal, coconut butter, pinch of celtic sea salt and some yacon syrup add some spring water too,not to much. Vita-mix away to achieve a creme like consistency.
Pour a small amount over your pie and garnish with some mint leaves or lemon balm leaves and a swirl of yacon syrup. Enjoy...
This is what i fed my family today and they really enjoyed it....
Much love.x.kate
Alternatively you could just grin and eat the gooseberries oer leave them in the sun to soften up a bit, my kids love them bitter.

Wow Kate!
Hmm....your recipe sounds to die for, but being the extremely lazy person that I am (in the kitchen at least!), I'm wondering if I could just make the gooseberry filling, and use it more like a pudding. Is that the consistency that it resembles? Because then, I could just make it more like a parfait type dish, with the gooseberry filling, sprinkles of walnuts, and possibly the almond creme. What do you think?
Ha ha....yeah, I don't think I could "grin and eat the gooseberries"....it would be more like a grimace!

yes, you could definately do it like that, it would be alot quicker but just as good. I hope you enjoy it..They are very good for you quite similar to the noni family plant, i think i remember David Wolfe saying.....

we used to grow gooseberries when i was a kid, and mostly my mother would cook them, but we did eat them raw too ..... if they are left on the bush longer they ripen to a mostly red colour and then they are actually really good. but yes, the green ones will make your face pucker up!!
you might try leaving them in the sun to see if they will carry on ripening to make them more palatable ...
or yes, do something like the filling for kate's recipe below .... so she put them in the blender with the yacon etc - can't see why that wouldn't work :) you need something to sweeten and then something a little bland, which i guess you get from the chia seeds. you could maybe experiment with perhaps something like banana blended in there too? just a thought ...
