these are gooseberries over in england.
On the telly t'other night Valentine warner a new chef that looks like a young back to the future doctor made a goosberry sweet. cook some gooseberries with sugar and water til slft but still most in shape. Add two egg yolks and mix in. Use the egg whites and icing sugar to make a merangue then put the goosberry mix in an ovenproof bowl top with the merangue mix and bake for 20 mins in a medium oven...

lovely...

It was in a glass bowl not a pastry case. In my neck of the woods a lemon (or goosberry) merengue comes in a pastry base but all said and done it looked lush,lol.
