JoSele's Notes:
I grew up eating this as a child...My mom made the best Sour Cream Gooseberry Pie ever...We have always loved this pie...It has a flavor all it's own...

Preheat the oven to 350*. In a medium bowl, gently stir together the gooseberries ,brown sugar, flour. Let stand for 15 minutes. Press one of the pie crusts into a 9 inch pie plate.
2
In a medium bowl, stir together the lemon juice, and the sour cream, eggs and sherry. Add the gooseberry and sugar mixture, and stir to coat evenly. Spoon into the pie crust, and place the second crust over the top. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut some decorative slits in the top to vent steam. Sprinkle top with raw sugar, and nutmeg

Goose berry looks like a white or green grape but is tart....If the stores don't have the fresh you can buy them where they have the canned fruit and pie fillings...

That is good...I find them on the top shelf where they have pie filling in the canned fruit section of my grocery stores...drain the liquid off of them though

I actually wanted to get some plants and add them to my yard. The closest Trader Joe's is about 40 minutes away, but maybe my son would go there for me one day on his way home from work. :D

You should have no problem growing them...it would be like growing currants

I have currants. I love those too. I planted a red currant 2 years ago, the bush is getting really nice size now. They were beautiful, looked like rubies. I am thinking if I get enough I will make a currant jam with them this year.
