Compote of Green Gooseberries

Take the gooseberries, cut each one at the side so as to squeeze out the seeds, and scald the jackets in hot water until they rise to the top. Take them out and put them in salted cold water to make them green. Place them in clarified syrup, and simmer, letting them remain for some time in this syrup to sweeten them well. When they have remained long enough, take them out, and arrange in the compote-dish. Let the syrup continue to boil gently until thick. Pour it over the gooseberries, and serve.
