Gooseberry fool. Cook gooseberries and mash, sieve pulp through colander, add equal portion of milk/cream add sugar to taste. Eat.

Gooseberry crumble, Stew briefly with sugar (about half as much as you would use with the same weight of cooking apples, and stew for max 5 mins after reaching boiling point), and proceed as for any other crumble recipe.
You can make the crumble without pre-cooking, but it's harder to get the sugar evenly distributed among the fruit, and the crumble gets more 'soaked in' to the fruit that way. I don't do crumbles often (and I never weigh anything for them), but I alwasy pre-cook the fruity bit....

Just made some Ice cream using creme frais instead of cream as a slightly healthier option,put 150gs of sugar in,not enough,it's a bit sour but nice on fresh strawberries.
