Overall, I thought these bars were pretty good. I would make them again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

I had some trouble finding gooseberries, but I eventually found them at a local farmer's market. The bars were worth the effort.

These bars were a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best gooseberry bars he's ever had.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but these bars were surprisingly good. The gooseberries added a nice tartness and the crumble topping was the perfect finishing touch.

Easy to make and delicious! I used fresh gooseberries from my garden and they were perfect. The bars were gone in no time.
