Gooseberry Pies or Tarts
Ingredients
Directions
Remove all stalks and blossoms from the gooseberries.
Prepare the pies as you would for rhubarb.
For tarts, strain the gooseberries through a coarse sieve.
Add sugar and coarse sea salt while the fruit is hot.
Ensure the fruit is completely cold before placing it on the pastry.
