Gooseberry Fool

[peter]

From the allotment today:
Raspberries, 4lbs.
Strawberries, a punnet.
Redcurrents, about 1 1/2lbs.
Blackcurrents, about 1lb.
Gooseberries, over half a carrier bagful.

Family don't like Gooseberries, so most went to our elderly, jam making, neighbour across the road, as did most of the currents. I've got a Summer Pudding in the fridge and a Gooseberry Fool in my guts.

1 Redcurrent & 1 Gooseberry stripped, 1 & 2 respectively untouched, 1 Blackcurrent lightly thinned.

Can't understand why my family don't like Gooseberry Fool, to me it's one of the perfect combinations of sweet and sharp, complimenting each other.

Enjoying the strawberries and raspberries in our garden too, the red and blackcurrants are nearly ripe, and I think i shall try making a jostaberry fool as the jostaberry bush is huge and absolutely laden with berries. It all comes at once .... the loganberries are beginning to ripen too.
