What IS a gooseberry, anyway? I went along my whole life without knowing the answer.
Each week, my vegetable CSA gives me choices, depending what’s growing. In the spring, it’s spinach, onions and other greens. In the summer, it’s squash and more greens and tomatoes. Every week the list changes, and as the summer progresses, the list grows and grows. I was surprised a few weeks ago when the choices included gooseberries! I decided to give them a try.
I think of gooseberries as being European, especially British, though that may come from my reading of Beatrix Potter about Peter Rabbit getting stuck in a gooseberry net. Is that right? But apparently, they grow in North America too, because here they are in my kitchen!
I decided to make muffins with them. They are tart, a little like a cranberry once cooked, so you may substitute fresh cranberries in this…

Wow! They are so small and red. In the UK gooseberries are large (like raspberries) and pale green, but the little vertical veins are the same. I remember once making gooseberry jam and it turned red.
I’m glad you enjoyed Susan’s post. I live in the UK so I know exactly what you mean about gooseberries being large, pale and green. I look forward to checking out your blog and hope you will visit surreyKitchen again soon. Emma.
I have never tried a gooseberry before, but they have a fun name, look pretty and sound tasty. I will check the freezers and dry store so I can experience this cool fruit.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the reblog. Gooseberries are delicious, you will love them. I look forward to checking out your blog and hope you will visit surreyKitchen again soon. Best wishes. Emma xx
