Gooseberries

 Today we picked the last of the gooseberries.   We have a half-dozen bushes.  Picking is a bit annoying, since you have to pull each berry separately, then remove both the stem and blossom end.   Also, the berries do not ripen all at once, so you have to leave the green ones (except when they come off with the ripe ones!).

Here's a large cereal bowl of gooseberries.



You can see the stems and blossom ends that must be removed.


After cleaning the gooseberries, at Chris' recommendation, I treated them as I would blueberries for pie.
A bit of juice, cornstarch, Spenda.


Ready to eat!
