Gooseberry Fool

Take the tops and stalks from a pound of green gooseberries, and boil them with three-quarters of a pound of sugar and a cupful of water. When quite soft, press them through a coarse sieve, and mix with them, very gradually, a pint of milk; or cream, if a richer dish is required. Serve when cold. This old-fashioned dish is wholesome and inexpensive, and, when well made, very agreeable. Time, about twenty minutes to boil the fruit. Probable cost, 9d. for this quantity, if made with milk. Sufficient for six or seven persons.
