Gooseberry Pie

Oven, in the book's wordsA good oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a good oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Place gooseberries in a saucepan with enough water to prevent burning.

  2. Stew slowly until the gooseberries break, stirring often.

  3. Sweeten the mixture abundantly and let it cool.

  4. Pour the cooled mixture into a pie dish lined with puff pastry.

  5. Cover with a top crust and bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven.

  6. Serve cold, dusted with powdered sugar.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
