Canned Gooseberry Pie
"There are pie recipes on Zaar which use fresh gooseberries, but since I don't have access to those great tasting berries when they're in season, I rely on the canned kind, thanks to Orergon Fruit Products Co! This recipe was found on that company's website, www.oregonfruits.com! Preparation time does not include the time needed if preparing your own pastry for the double crust."

So sorry for the late rating! I made this for Easter for my little bro, who LOVES gooseberry pie. This wasn't as good as a fresh gooseberry pie, but we all thought it was pretty good! Truth be told, I was practically licking the pan. I would definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing!
