How to Make Gooseberry Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 4 cups gooseberries (fresh or frozen), 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes to allow the juices to release.
  4. Carefully pour the gooseberry filling into one 9-inch pie crust.
  5. Top with the second pie crust. Crimp and seal the edges, creating decorative vents to allow steam to escape.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts browning too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
