Gooseberry ice-cream is stunning but did you have them in the freezer
from last year, surely yours aren't ready to pick yet. Ours are still
green, not even started to get ripe and turn yellow.

One bush are nice and yellow and sweet and squishy already. Don't know
what variety as it was on the lottie when we took it on. An old,
established bush, we needed to move it so we could put the shed up -
which had to go in a set corner. So we prised it out with a mattock and
crowbar, breaking roots in the process, replanted it and gave it a very
bad haircut, and for the last three years it has rewarded us with pounds
and pounds of large, luscious goosegogs :-}


We have some new bushes that are just starting to yield, though pounds
and pounds is still out of range. But I've never had gooseberry
ice-cream, and it sounds fantastic.

Who's got a good recipe? Have got an old-fashioned churn and teenagers
to work it!
