I don't.  If I'm feeling industrious, I'll pull a bag of frozen 
gooseberries out of  the freezer and roll the bag around between my hands - 
a goodly portion of the stems and blossom ends will break off, but I don't 
worry too much about 'em - just some additional fiber, and, for the most 
part, I end up eating most of the gooseberry confections - they're not a 
big hit with the rest of my family.
