Gooseberry

Gooseberries are a relative of the Blackcurrant. They may be round or oval, they may have hairy skin or smooth skin. They range in colour from green to yellow-white to pinky red. Most gooseberries are very sour and are usually eaten cooked with the addition of sugar. Their sharp astringent flavour can used as an accompaniment in savoury dishes, but are also eaten in pies, preserves and desserts.
