Compote

Place the gooseberries in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to sit for 1 minute then drain and refresh under cold water. Drain and add 1 tbsp cider vinegar (this helps preserve the colour) and mix thoroughly.
Add the sugar and water to a pan and boil for 15 minutes, removing any scum as it rises. Measure 600ml of the syrup into a fresh pan, add the gooseberries and boil gently for 15 minutes (you want the fruit to be soft but not turned to a mush).
Remove the gooseberries and carefully place in a glass dish. Boil the syrup for a further 5 minutes to reduce. Allow the syrup to cool a little then pour over the fruit. When completely cold this is ready to use. It should be consumed on the day it's made and will not keep.
