Gooseberry Fool
1 pint gooseberries, stemmed
1/4 cup sugar; plus
2 - 3 tbsp water
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Put the gooseberries in a non-reactive saucepan with 1/4 cup of sugar and the water. Cook very gently until the gooseberries are thoroughly done and soft enough to mash. Put them through a sieve or food mill and add sugar to taste. Fold the gooseberry puree through the whipped cream. Chill for several hours.
