- Wash the gooseberries and dry them with a kitchen towel. Halve and place them in a large jar. Add the sugar and the gin. Stir gently.

Notes
- I am not giving you the amount in cups as gooseberries can vary very much in size, some are really small, some are huge.
- If using green gooseberry, you will need to add more sugar, as they are tarter.
- A basic sort of gin, nothing expensive.
