Gooseberry pie is perhaps the best pie that one can make. Strawberry pie is a close second, but that sweet/tart flavor of gooseberry pie is very good. Some recipes call for "cooking down" the gooseberries. Don't do this. Just put the green berries in the pie crust, whole. Don't let the berries ripen for use in pies. You can select how tart you want the pie to be by adjusting the amount of sugar you add.
