Pax
Thornless red gooseberry that finally makes picking a pleasure instead of a blood sport. The berries are sweet enough for dessert and the bush doesn't fight back when you reach in. Modern breeding solving a problem that's annoyed gardeners for centuries.
in the kitchen
Gooseberry crumble
Top, tail, and toss the red berries with sugar and a splash of elderflower cordial. Top with a crumble of flour, butter, oats, and demerara sugar. Bake until golden and bubbling. The classic treatment for a classic berry.
