Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4.
-
Scatter gooseberries on a baking sheet, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20-30 minutes until tender.
-
Transfer the baked gooseberries to a bowl and mash to release their juices; adjust sweetness as desired based on intended use.
-
Stir in elderflower cordial if using.
-
The finished compote can be used immediately, refrigerated for several days, or frozen for extended storage.
-
Optionally, for a smoother compote, blend and sieve it; for a chunkier version, blend two-thirds of the berries, sieve, then reincorporate the remaining whole berries.
