Gooseberry Fool

Method

  • Put the gooseberries in a saucepan with the water and place over a medium heat.

  • Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes or until the gooseberries are very soft, squashing them with a spoon as they cook.

  • Purée in a blender then press through a sieve to remove the pips.

  • Stir the sugar into the sieved purée, adding more if the fruit is very tart, then leave to cool completely.

  • Whip the cream until it holds soft peaks, then fold it loosely into the custard. Loosely fold in the gooseberry purée so the fool has a marbled texture.

  • Serve chilled.
