This recipe needs sugar, because gooseberries and currants are generally too sharp to enjoy without sweetening.

Ingredients
450g (1 lb/2-3 cups) gooseberries
100-175g (4-6 oz/1-2 cups) red or blackcurrants
175g (6 oz/three-quarters cup) caster (superfine granulated) sugar
100-175g (4-6 oz/1-2 cups) fresh raspberries

Serves 4-6

1. Prepare gooseberries and currants, rinse well, place in a saucepan.
2. Add sugar, heat gently to allow the juice to run.
3. Very slowly, bring up to a boil. If you boil the fruit too quickly it will turn mushy.
4. Shake the pan gently now and again, to mix the sugar through the fruit.
5. Simmer very gently for 5 mins.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the raspberries.
7. Leave to cool and chill to serve.
