Gooseberry recipes

This versatile tangy berry is often found in desserts; here are some scrumptious gooseberry recipes including fools, gooseberry cheesecakes and gooseberry jam. Our gooseberry and white chocolate frangipane tart is a match made in heave. And…you can also use in savoury dishes, like this smoked mackerel and gooseberry salad.

Gooseberries can be in season as early as the end of May in the UK, depending on the weather.
