If you're making a pie w/ gooseberries or
Jostaberries, do you need to remove the stem
and blossom ends?
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.
