Gooseberries · rare
Leveller
The show-bench gooseberry. Large, golden-yellow berries with a sweetness and flavour that wins competitions. More demanding to grow well — it wants rich soil and careful pruning — but the berries are in a different class. The gooseberry growers' gooseberry.

Fresh gooseberries with sugar
Top, tail, and eat the golden berries raw, dipped in caster sugar. When a gooseberry is this sweet and this flavourful, cooking it would be a crime. A bowl of these and a sunny afternoon is all you need.
