Compost bin? :D I’m not a fan of gooseberries, but saw HFW adding them to strawberry jam the other day on River Cottage, recipe should be online somewhere.  Also I think you can do crumble with them or a fool.

Thanks bhc - I’m not keen either but I hate wasting food so have to do something - maybe jam with strawbs would cover the taste? And I’ve got strawberries on the veg patch….
