    The fruit's disintegrated a bit, so it's probably overcooked. Tastes great though, still nice & sharp, I thought I might have added too much sugar. :D
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    looks very tasty, my gran used to put a pinch of bicarb soda into rhubarb that she was stewing to take away the acidity so you didnt need so much sugar, not sure if it would work with goosies

    Woo! Nice crumble, MrBE!

    I second the call for a roast dinner. Or something equally complex. You can't get stuck in a comfort zone, y'know ;)

    Oh Mr BE, you're no fun anymore - you can cook better than I can, mind you, that's not saying much :rotfl:

    My today's attempt at muffins have gone straight in the bin, but to be fair, I think my ovens' thermostat is on the blink ;)

    :T :T :T MrBE. That looks scrumptious - and I hate goosegogs with a passion. Mind you, I used to hate rhubarb too, but I now love it in crumble, pie *and* yoghurt.

    Yeah, it was a bit easy, but it wasn't really meant to be a cooking thread...just a few questions and you lot all got carried away. :p :rotfl:

    Hi all.

    I have just picked loads of green gooseberries from my allotment and i now need to use them. I did try gooseberry jam last year but i found it really too sweet so is there anything else i can make with them?

    Also can i freeze them and how do i do this?

    I've just found a recipe for gooseberry fool that sounds nice and i can think of gooseberry crumble, but i can't think of anything else..can anyone help?
