have made Gooseberry slice from the Otago Farmers Market Book. It is delicious.

250g chilled butter , chopped
250g self-raising flour
125g ground almonds
125g light muscovado sugar
350g gooseberries , fresh or frozen
85g caster sugar , plus extra
50g flaked almonds

Heat oven to 190C. Line a 27 x 18cm baking tin with baking
parchment.

Rub the butter into the flour, almonds and sugar to make crumbs, then firmly press two-thirds onto the base and sides of the tin. Toss the gooseberries with the caster sugar, then scatter over the top of the crumb mixture.

Mix the flaked almonds into the remaining crumbs, then scatter over the gooseberries. Bake for 50 mins-1 hr until golden and the fruit is bubbling a little around the edges. Dredge with caster sugar, then cool in the tin.
