I just retrieved a couple of bags of red summer fruiting gooseberries from the freezer to make a crumble. They've had the same quantity of sugar to stop them taking the enamel off my teeth. There are still some more bags left....

Some people put a little bicarb in to take the sourness away

Mix them with an appropriate amount of sugar to make a loose jam and use it in plain yoghurt. If you have to add a lot of sugar the yogurt will balance that out as well as softening the acidity.
