Mom Bennett's Gooseberry Pie Filling

Dienia B.'s Note:

From my ex mother-in-law, a great country cook. It's a good way to make gooseberry pie filling for those of you like me who had never seen a gooseberry much less knew what to do with them. I don't know why you have to cook them before putting them in the pie, but it seems you do--probably that tartness factor--lol.

• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 3 cups fresh gooseberries
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:

1. You may need more sugar if your gooseberries are tarter than you thought.
2. You cook this all together till its thick and hot. Put this between 2 pie shells and bake if you want.
