Wonderful way to use up my gooseberries! - 21 Jul 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. This is the recipe I use, but only use 300g sugar. I usually add a bit of cinnamon before covering with the top pastry. - 21 Jul 2008
This pie was great. It was not tart like some of the other Gooseberry recipies I have tried. My husband and my kids raved over it. - 21 Jul 2008
