In a post that I wrote earlier this week, I mentioned that raspberries are currently in season. Raspberries are just one out of the many berries in season. I encourage you to taste the diversity of berries out there.
Last weekend, I tried fresh gooseberries for the first time. They're not like any berry I have ever tried. Their flavor ranges from bitter and sour to sweet. In just one gooseberry, I experienced a succession of brilliant aromas starting with sour green apples and ending with sugary grapes.
When eaten raw, make sure that the gooseberries are really ripe; otherwise, they will be too tart. In addition to eating them on their own, gooseberries can be the featured ingredient in plenty of dishes. Try these below:

Here's another recipe for your gooseberry collection - duck confit with gooseberry sauce. Sweet and tangy and meaty - mmmm, it even makes this vegetarian hungry!
