Georgie Porgie says :-
Squeeze the juice from the orange. Top and tail the gooseberries and place in the saucepan with the sugar and orange juice. Put the pan over a low to medium heat and
slowly bring the fruit to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring carefully and only occasionally with the wooden spoon, until the gooseberries are completely tender. Whilst still warm sieve in to bowl, and put it in the fridge to cool completely. Put the cream in the other bowl with the icing sugar and whip until it forms soft peaks.
Serve it layered in a wine glass – spoon into each glass a layer of gooseberry; a layer of whipped cream, another layer of gooseberry and a final topping of whipped cream.
We serve it at the George with our home made shortbread.
