Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh gooseberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 recipe of your favorite pie crust

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the fresh gooseberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix well until the gooseberries are evenly coated.
3. Roll out the pie crust and place it in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough.
4. Pour the gooseberry mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
5. Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the pie. Alternatively, you can cover the pie with a full crust and cut slits to allow steam to escape.
6. Press the edges of the crust together to seal and crimp them with your fingers.
7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
9. Serve the gooseberry pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
