Instructions

Put the gooseberries in a saucepan with a tablespoon of water and the sugar. Heat until the berries begin to break down. Leave to cool and then chill in the fridge.
Mix the gooseberries and cream together in a mixing jug.
Taste and mix in a little icing sugar or an alternative sweetener if the mixture is not quite sweet enough.
Follow your ice-cream maker's instructions. Pour the gooseberry mixture into the ice cream maker and let it churn for about 15 minutes by which time it should be fairly stiff. Transfer to a freezer container and place in the freezer. Or eat straightaway.
