The same friend who lets me pick her red currants and tap her maple trees also has gooseberries growing in her yard, and like the currants, still has a freezer full from last year. Would I like them? I've never tasted a gooseberry before and I'm not quite sure what to do with them, but I thought I'd bring some home and play around and decide if I like them or not. Have you guys got any experience with these things? I'm not even sure if they're ripe... should they be soft like a grape? these are still quite hard.

Yes, they should be soft. They are good when they are ripe. SOUR when they are not. Jelly is really good made from these.
I think maybe I'm going to try my hand at a gooseberry and red currant wine. I've never made wine before, but it doesn't look that hard... famous last words, right?
