Ingredients
Let’s gather what we need for this delicious pie:
- 2 cups fresh gooseberries, washed and trimmed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 package of pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Now that we’ve got our ingredients ready, let’s bring it all together:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is gonna help that crust get nice and golden.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gooseberries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt. Gently toss everything together so the gooseberries are nicely coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow those flavors to blend.
- While your fruit is resting, roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess hanging over the edges.
- Pour the gooseberry mixture into the prepared crust, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
- Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges well. You can choose to cut slits in the top crust for ventilation or get creative and make a lattice pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set just a little!
And there you have it! A beautiful Gooseberry Pie that’s sure to impress. Serve it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and enjoy a slice of happiness with friends and family. Happy baking!
