Gooseberry sauce for oily fish or pork

Side Serves 4 35 min
Gooseberries should not just be kept for pudding: they're great enhancers of oily fish, like mackerel, and fatty meat, such as pork. If you are serving this with fish, you could let it down with a little fish stock for a lighter sauce.

Ingredients

  • 400g gooseberries, topped and tailed
  • 25g butter
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar

Method

Prep time: 5 min
Cooking time: 30 min

  • Step 1

    Place all the ingredients in a pan and cook slowly until the skins of the gooseberries start to burst. You can serve them rustically like this, or sieve them if you prefer.
