    Slightly soggy on the base but very tasty and tangy. Nice way to use gooseberries.

    Simply stunning, a great way to use my gooseberries without then being too gooseberrish. Used lemon to make a drizzle topping as i love a sharp icing, I took some into work and my colleagues loved then, highly recommended.
