gooseberries

I've been trying different kinds of foods & came across Gooseberries. They
taste like sour little grapes. I have a 6oz package of them & am wondering
if anybody has any suggestions as to what they can be cooked into or mixed
with, or whatever. Thanks!

Wild berries can be treated like any other berries. Pretend
they are blueberries in any recipe and they should work.
Smoothies, baked into something very high calorie, eaten
straight as a snack ...

"baked into something very high calorie"? Maybe I'm missing something... I
know you are being sarcastic, but why?

Anyways, gooseberries are great if you mix them with something else. I hate
rhubarb alone, but in a mixed berry crisp with plenty of splenda, the
tartness really offsets the berries.

I like them in oatmeal. I add some Splenda to the oatmeal and that
would take away the tartness. I prefer blueberries though and like the
frozen better than fresh because they are always perfect. I add the
frozen ones directly to the hot oatmeal and stir them in. It cools off
the oatmeal and thaws the blueberries at the same time, but not so
much as to make them soggy or warm. One half cup of blueberries added
to a half cup (dry) serving of oatmeal works perfect. I also like to
add frozen cranberries the same way, but only get those around the
holidays.....great vitamin C and fiber in berries. dkw

raisins with rice is cool. maybe berries could taste as good?
what bout yogurt
uncooked is best

Only partially. Often folks live with people on unrestricted
calorie diets. Pies can be made low fat. And for folks
able to do portion control a small slice of pie is low calorie
via portion control.

Also recipes that are high calorie/carb/fat/whatever can be
modified by experiment so the potential for wider use is out
there.

Eating gooseberries?

We have wild geese all over where I live. Eating goose poop just seems
wrong.
