RECIPE TIPS
RED GOOSEBERRIES

There are many different varieties of gooseberry, from sharp green ones to the sweeter red dessert berries. Adding only half the sugar at the start of the recipe means that you can adjust to taste later, depending on the sharpness of the variety you’re using. Look for punnets of red gooseberries at Marks & Spencer.
