Gooseberry Fool Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Servings: 8 Ingredients 2 pints ripe gooseberries, stems and tails removed 1 cup sugar 4 tablespoons water 2 cups whipping cream 2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions In a small saucepan, mix sugar, water and gooseberries. Mash some of the gooseberries to release juice and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until gooseberries are soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. When cooled, mash with a fork or, for a smoother texture, puree in a blender or food processor. When ready to serve, or up to an hour ahead, whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla until it holds soft peaks. Lightly fold in the gooseberry mixture, leaving visable streaks of berries and cream. Divide into serving dishes and serve cold. TIP: Cream whips best when cream, bowl and whisk or beaters are well chilled. MUDDY WATERS RECIPES
