Ingredients

  • one pound of green gooseberries in some thin syrup

Directions

1

2686—GOOSEBERRY FOOL

2

Poach one pound of green gooseberries in some thin syrup. When they are cooked, thoroughly drain them; rub them through a sieve, and collect the purée in a flat saucepan.

3

Work this purée on ice, and add the necessary amount of icing sugar to it.

4

The amount of the icing sugar varies according to the acidity of the fruit and the sweetness of the poaching-syrup.

5

Combine with the purée an equal quantity of very stiffly whipped cream; set the preparation in the shape of a dome in a timbale: decorate its surface, by means of a piping-bag, with Chantilly cream, and serve very cold.
