    Hi, kippers :beer: We have a long thread on gooseberries so I'll add your post to that.

    Yes, they freeze well - I put them into a strong freezer bag.

    Gooseberry crumbe, pie, chutney :j

    I made a tarte tatin with some last year which was really nice.

    Also gooseberry fool, or a nice sauce with duck!

    Hi lindseykim,

    There's an earlier thread with lots of suggestions that should give you some inspiration so I've added your thread to it to keep the replies together.

    Either eat them as is when fresh, make a crumble or eat stewed with custard.
