Method

This very British ingredient is one that usually bursts on cooking, the sous vide method prevents this.

METHOD

  1. Top and tail the gooseberries, wash and dry
  2. In a small saucepan make a simple syrup by simmering together the honey, muscat, orange zest, lavender and sugar then set aside to cool
  3. Place the gooseberries into a vacuum pouch along with the cooled syrup and seal
  4. Cook the gooseberries in the water bath at 68 degrees for 1 hour – 1 ½ hours until the fruit is tender
  5. Empty the contents of the pouch into a colander, reserving the juices
  6. Pass the juices through a fine sieve
  7. Add 350mls of the liquid to a sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Add the gelatine
  8. In a desired mould carefully place the sous vide gooseberries, pour on the gelatine mixture and set in the fridge
  9. Place the remaining liquid in a tray and put in the freezer, run a fork through to break the crystals every half hour until a granite has formed
  10. To serve, use hot water to release the jelly from its mould and serve with the granite

Chef’s Tip –

Why not try a pickled gooseberry and serve with some roasted pork, it’s a great seasonal treat! Add a pickling liquor of sugar and wine vinegar to the pouch.
