Mom Bennett's Gooseberry Pie Filling

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.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 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.
