Gooseberries have a subtle but sharp flavour when at their best so the aromatic sweetness of ginger is a great combination.
- Top and tail the gooseberries and put in a small pan with the sugar and ground ginger. Cook gently until the sugar has dissolved. Place in an ovenproof dish, stir in the chopped ginger and set aside.
- Preheat the oven 180C/350F/gas Mark 4. Rub together the butter and flour. Add in the nuts, oats and brown sugar.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit and bake for about 30 minutes until the topping is golden. Serve with ice cream, thick cream or custard
