As thanks for some much-needed and much-appreciated help, I offered to make a neighbor his favorite pie. It was gooseberry. Huh?? I didn't even know what they are. And since they're not in season this time of year in my part of the world, and probably not available in my area even when they ARE in season, I sought out canned ones. Rebelling at the cost per can when buying the 2 cans needed for a pie, I opted for the 8-pack. And boy am I glad I did. My husband hadn't tasted gooseberry pie since he was about 9, but had fond memories of it. So after fulfilling the neighbor's wish, I made one for us as well, following the Oregon Fruit recipe online. Oh man, it is SO GOOD!!!! When this first box is gone, I will definitely order more. I am a convert! And my aged husband (we're both nearing (ack!) 70) is delighted too.
