Which fruit can you add to gooseberries to make them less sharp to taste?

Ive heard that when making a gooseberry pie, a certain fruit will lessen the sharpness, but I cant remember what that fruit is.



Can anyone help please? : )

Reply:Not a fruit but a herb! Sweet Cecily. You'll have to grow it yourself but it works for any tart fruit.

Reply:pears or apples i think would work best as you get the flavour of the gooseberries and apples and pears are sweet. Hope you find the fruit you want.
Reply:Cherries are good with it! Only this will change the colour. Otherwise use pears
Reply:bananas.
Reply:I should think pears would do - without disturbing the goosberry taste too much ....



also, you might try experimenting with green grapes ...
