    Title: Gooseberry Fool
    Categories: Desserts
    Yield: 1 Batch

    450 g Gooseberries (no need to
    -top and tail)
    175 g Sugar
    3 Elderflower heads -OR-
    2 tb Elderflow cordial
    275 ml Double or whipping cream

    In my opinion, the best thing you can do with fresh gooseberries.

    Rinse the gooseberries. Add to a pan with the sugar and elderflower.
    Simmer gently until soft.

    Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

    Whip the cream to soft-peak stage.

    Remove the elderflower heads (if using) and crush the gooseberries.
    Fold in the whipped cream.

    Decant into serving containers and chill in the fridge.

    Title: Gooseberry Fool
    Categories: Desserts
    Yield: 4 Servings

    3 c Gooseberries
    1/3 c Honey or sugar; to taste
    3/4 c Thick cream

    Top and tail the gooseberries and stew them very gently in a little
    water until soft. Mix in enough honey or sugar to sweeten them. Blend
    with the cream. Cool and serve in small individual dishes.

    Note:

    Elder flowers add an interesting subtle flavor. Throw in a spray or
    two of elder flowers while stewing them. Leave in for just a few
    minutes, then discard.
