Gooseberries: Ranging in color from pale green to red, they are tart, usually small, berries with rather hard, tiny seeds. Available in limited quantities from April through August, depending upon locality.

How to Choose and Store:

Choose fresh-looking, firm berries. To store, pour on a shallow tray, remove soft or bruised berries. Store in refrigerator, unwashed. Use as soon as possible and wash just before using.
