How to Make Gooseberry Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup powdered sugar, and ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended). Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumble mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a small saucepan, combine 1 (15 ounce) can Oregon Fruit Products Co. gooseberries, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 4-5 minutes, or until the filling has thickened.
- Pour the warm gooseberry filling over the partially baked crust. Continue baking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
