"Fool", a combination of fruit and cream, is a traditional dessert of the British Isles. Quick, easy - and good!
Gooseberry Fool Recipe (+)
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.
TIP: Cream whips best when cream, bowl and whisk or beaters are well chilled.

Raspberry Gooseberry Jam
Since gooseberries are rich in pectin, make this jam the old-fashioned way, without commercial pectin. If the jam will be used soon, or frozen, there is no need to bother with canning it. Jam will keep for weeks in the refrigerator. Makes 3 to 4, 1/2 pint jars.
Chicken with Gooseberries
Tart gooseberries are balanced by the sweetness of onions. If gooseberries aren't available, use sour pie cherries, canned or fresh.
Pork Chops with Gooseberry Sauce
