Ingredients

  • one pint of milk
  • one-half pint of cream
  • two tablespoonfuls of water
  • one-half pint of milk

Directions

1

Take green gooseberries ; to every pint of pulp add one pint of milk, or one-half pint of cream and one-half pint of milk ; sugar to taste. Cut the tops and tails of the gooseberries ; put them in a jar with two tablespoonfuls of water and a little moist sugar. Set this jar in a saucepan of boiling water, and let it boil until the fruit is soft enough to mash. When done enough beat it to a pulp, work this pulp through a colander, and stir to every pint the above proportions of milk, or equal quantities of cream and milk. Ascertain if the mixture is sweet enough, and put in plenty of sugar, or it will not be eatable ; and in mixing the milk and gooseberries, add the former very gradually to these. This, although a very old-fashioned and homely dish, is, when well made, very delicious, and a very suitable dish for children.
