I have an receipe using quail with fresh grapes, maybe she could substitute the grapes for gooseberries instead?... OK,,goosegogs.

Here,,it says...Make a paste of the following: quail livers, chopped bacon, some bread crumbs soaked in cognac. Fill each bird with 2 tablespoons of this mixture, wrap each in an vine leaf soaked beforehand in cognac, add an covering of bacon. Cook in butter (1 Tablespoon per bird) in hot oven, 400 degrees, for about 10 minutes...then add a dozen grapes for each bird in the baking dish. Add 2 ozs. of brandy and cover the pan, turn heat to 375 degres and bake another 5 or 6 mintues. Take the quails out and remove the bacon wrappings. Put quails in an serving dish with the grapes and brandy in which they were cooked in and serve hot.

Interesting recipe Shirley but I don't think it would work very well because the goosegogs are pretty sharp, even when an amount of sugar/sweetner is added.

Kinda like the sound of the Brandy bit! lol

LOL, Ron.

Yes, I'll let you know if I find them.  But I'll guarantee they won't be locally grown. 

I think I recall an episode of Keeping Up Appearances where Hyacinth got really tipsy on gooseberry wine.

 

One of my favorite episodes, Ruth!  LOL!  The only thing Hyacinth was allowed to bid on at the auction was the Dowager Lady Ursula's homemade gooseberry wine.  Turned out to be a right powerful scrumpy!  I think of this any time I hear the word gooseberry.
