Ingredients
- 1 pint ripe gooseberries, stems and tails removed
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
"Fool", a combination of fruit and cream, is a traditional dessert of the British Isles. Quick,
easy - and good!
Directions
- In a small saucepan, mix sugar, water and gooseberries. Mash some of the gooseberries to
release juice and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until gooseberries are soft, 5 to 10
minutes. Set aside to cool. When cooled, mash with a fork or, for a smoother texture, puree in a
blender or food processor.
When ready to serve, or up to an hour ahead, whip the cream with
the sugar and vanilla until it holds soft peaks.
Lightly fold in the gooseberry mixture,
leaving visable streaks of berries and cream. Divide into serving dishes and serve cold.
