1 qt. gooseberries
1 3/4 c. sugar
1/3 c. cornstarch
1 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. water

Wash berries and put in pan, add water, sugar and cornstarch. Mix sugar and cornstarch, cook until it starts to thicken. Add butter. Pour in pie crust and bake until crust browns slightly.

NEVER FAIL PIE CRUST:

3 c. flour
1 c. shortening
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vinegar
5 tbsp. cold water

Mix flour and shortening until crumbly. Add egg, vinegar and water mixture and stir until just holds together. Roll out on floured board. (I cut my crust in strips and crisscross the strips. Brush crust with water for a nice glaze.)
