RECIPE: Gooseberry Ideas

Difficulty Level: Easy

Here are a couple great ideas for what to do with any leftover gooseberries: 

(1) Compote: husk, wash and cook down on the stove with a little sugar and water.  You can put it in yogurt, toast, etc.  Super easy and very delicious.

(2) Another suggestion for the compote is spooning it in elderflower soda or cordial. The french soda is available in so many supermarkets...quite elegant.

 

 

RECIPE: Coconut Gooseberry Clafoutis

Difficulty Level: Easy 

serves 4 for breakfast

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup coconut milk

3 eggs
scant 3/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup gooseberries, canned or fresh
butter to grease the pan
powdered sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 400. In a large bowl, crack 3 eggs and whisk to combine. Add coconut milk, sugar, salt and vanilla and mix until well blended. Finally, add the flour to this mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.

Generously grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet (or pie pan of similar size will work as well). Pour batter into greased pan, then sprinkle the gooseberries evenly throughout the mixture. Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, then broil on high for about 2 minutes (until golden brown and puffy). Let stand 5 minutes, then serve with a generous dusting of powdered sugar.
