Ingredients

3 cups fresh gooseberries
2 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 (14.1 ounce) package double-crust pie pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons milk
1.5 tablespoons white sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking sheet on the lowest oven rack.
Remove stems from gooseberries and rinse thoroughly.
In a saucepan, crush 1/2 cup of gooseberries. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of sugar, tapioca, and salt; pour over the crushed berries and mix well. Heat over medium, stirring constantly until the mixture boils, then cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and gently fold in the remaining whole berries.
Place one pastry sheet into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour in the gooseberry filling, then cover with the top pastry, making slits to vent steam. Brush the top with milk and sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven on the prepared baking sheet until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, approximately 35 minutes.
