Gooseberries grow on low bushes, often very prickly. The fruit can be tart, esp the green varieties, but these are really sweet.

whenever we are at Kew I always buy loads of their lovely jam.Just opened a new jar labelled Careless-Gooseberry and Sloe gin extra jam so I have been having gooseberries without realising!.I will have to look into buying some fruit bushes....

Hi Skippy
~According to an online blurb they say Gooseberries are regarded as a quintessentially British fruit but we didn't actually have them here until the 13th Century from Europe-apparently can be grown right up to the Arctic Circle~got some recipes on UKTV FOOD which sound lovely~I may very well look into getting some bushes next year,also some blackcurrants.
I remember as a kid picking all kinds of fruit from my aunties garden for pies!~

Are they sweet? They look similar to grapes.
