Gooseberries North Fife. Anyway this is a bowlful from the garden, actually on tasting they are quite sweet. Anyway, tonight cooked a quantity for a few minutes with sugar and cider to taste, not much, enough to stop them burning. Below, the outcome with freshly cooked cheese cake. Ummmm.
Over the next few days we will raid the bushes that occur in the wild, a very delicious fruit amongst many that can be found and not forgotten.
