Rhubarb or gooseberry fool.........................when i was younger use to eat greengages ? tree gone in Martins Grove so never see them since....what are they
Oooh yeah - Hartley's Gooseberries in a tin - the only way to eat them - FACT. Nan used to make Goosebrry pie with those Hartleys jobs - awesome childhood memory, right up there with her bread & butter pudding (and her bread pudding for that matter). Nerver liked eating them fresh for some reason.
Rhubarb crumble with custard is quite possibly the best dessert ever invented - though apple pie with cheese is awesome as well.
In addition to being canned whole and preserved as jam, the cape gooseberry is made into sauce, used in pies, puddings, chutneys and ice cream, and eaten fresh in fruit salads and fruit cocktails. In Colombia, the fruits are stewed with honey and eaten as dessert. The British use the husk as a handle for dipping the fruit in icing.
yes gh remembr the trees up the top( always semed to have spring water running through them ) and scrumping apples over the wall......good memories of MG pool ...great times....could you imagine the great unwashed and locals you would get there now.......but still shame Martins Grove and danson shut down.....

Crumble and custard.
But rhubarb season is behind us, we are now firmly into gooseberry season!
You need natural yoghurt mate, not rhubarb
but crumble hot or cold up in top 3 puds
think greengages are some sort of plumb.
