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

yum yum will try it...ive got loads so anymore ideas i would be greatful

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.
