Note: Gooseberries

These large, tart berries are in season only in June and July, but canned

gooseberries work well in pies, cobblers, and fools. American gooseberries are

rouond and about 1/2-inch in diameter, while European gooseberries are oblong,

and about twice the size of American gooseberries.

 

They're very acidic, and so they're great with roasted [favorites]. The freshest

gooseberries are covered with fuzz.

 

EQUIVALENTS: - 1 cup equals 150 grams.

 

SUBSTITUTES: - Rhubarb, excellent in fools OR currants, preferably red currants
