Snow White’s Gooseberry Pie

I was that child who watched Snow White a million times and I always wondered what those famous gooseberries were that she baked into her pie and then one day as I was shopping in Trader Joes, I picked up a package of Golden Berries that said “aka gooseberries” on the label and I almost did a flip.

So the only natural thing to do was buy 4 packs of them and attempt to make gooseberry pie. I have to say, the berries are MUCH more sour than I thought so I was pretty skeptical about how it would turn out, but luckily the sugar cut the tartness and the pie was AMAZING.

I’m not a pic fruit pie person but this one was genuinely one of my favorites because it was so unique and I loved the flavor. If you can get your hands on some gooseberries or golden berries, you will love this pie!!

Hope you enjoy!
