On the subject of damsons  ....  Gooseberries !

What do I do with them ?  Last years are still in the freezer and the new crop is ready !

Other than Gooseberry crumble and homebrew wine what else can I do with them ?

They make the best jam.

jk

gooseberry fool

I read that in  B.A. Baracus mode .... Goosberry !!   ..... Fool!

Crumble.  Served with condensed milk to offset the tartness.

They go really well as a sauce (like apple sauce) with rich meats such as… goose! 
And the French call them groseilles à maquereaux because they like them with mackerel.

I made strawberry and gooseberry jam again this year with mine.

Badgers love them and don't seem at all bothered by the prickes.

Elderflower and gooseberry ice cream- it  a hugh f-w recipe and its lovely

Gooseberry gin.

Eat them, gooseberries are quite simply my favourite thing.

A gooseberry flan is the ideal accompaniment to a hot afternoon.

Gooseberries, along with rhubarb are the absolute highlight of "fruit".

Fruit Haribo in fact

On cereal, with custard, crumble, smoothies, just eat them instead of buying imported stuff.

With a hint of whiskey they make ace jam. 

I can't improve on the excellent suggestions already made. I love gooseberries, but sadly my little bushes didn't produce much this year after a hard pruning last year.

Jam.

Hope you remembered to top & tail them before freezing...

I made about ten jars of gooseberry and rhubarb jam. My mum said it was the best jam she’s ever had. 

Just finished top and tailing 1/2 a bucket of gooseberries from the allotment. Tedious job, but worth it when you can get them from the freezer all winter, My favourite is gooseberry pie, possibly with a puff pastry top.

They are actually easier to top and tail when frozen, they snap off really easily

That’s if you haven’t defrosted them 1st of course(personal experience and I still did it the next year)
