Play gooseberry with this gooseberry granita recipe from River Cottage Spring

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 300g caster sugar
  • 1kg gooseberries
  • 4-5 sprigs of mint

Method: How to make gooseberry granita

1. Tip the gooseberries into a saucepan with the sugar and mint and enough water just to cover. Simmer until the fruit is soft enough to crush against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon.

2. Pass the gooseberry mixture through a fine sieve, taste and add more sugar if necessary – as it is going to be frozen, it’s better if it’s a little too sweet, as the freezing dulls the sweetness slightly.

3. Pour the mixture into a plastic container and cool. Cover the container and freeze until solid. Remove from the freezer, allow to soften a little and then scratch it up into ice crystals with a fork. Serve immediately.
