Ingredients

  • 500g gooseberries
  • 3 tbsp caster sugar
  • 4 tbsp elderflower cordial
  • juice ½ lemon
  • 350ml double cream

Method

  1. Wash the gooseberries thoroughly, top and tail them, then place in a wide heavy-bottomed pan with the sugar, cordial and lemon juice. Simmer over a gentle heat until all the gooseberries have burst.

  2. Lightly crush with a fork, tip into a bowl to cool and chill for at least 2 hrs. This can be done up to 2 days ahead.

  3. Lightly whip the cream to a soft dropping consistency, then swirl in the cooked gooseberries to give a rippled effect. Spoon the fool into glasses and chill until you are ready to serve.
