Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/fan160C/gas 4. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface, then use it to line a 23cm loose-bottom tart tin. Line with non-stick baking parchment and baking beans, then bake for 15 mins. Remove the beans, then cook for 10 mins more until golden. Remove from the oven, then reduce the heat to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1.
- While the case is cooking, heat the butter and brown sugar in a shallow pan. When the sugar has completely dissolved, throw in the gooseberries and toss in the caramel. Cook for a few mins until they start to split, but before they have burst completely. Remove from heat and leave to cool. Once cool give them a stir, then tip into pastry case.
- For the meringue topping, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Whisk in the caster sugar a spoonful at a time, then whisk in the cornflour. Carefully blob the meringue over the gooseberries and gently spread to cover. Bake for about 40 mins until the meringue is cooked and lightly browned.

GOOSEBERRY TART
For the prettiest presentation, use a combination of green (1 cup) and red gooseberries (2 1/2 cups). Currant jelly yields a dessert that's quite tart, so if you want to go slightly sweeter, try apricot. Either way, serve with dollops of freshly whipped cream.

Steps:
- Pate Sucree:Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yolks and drizzle 2 tablespoons cream evenly over mixture; pulse just until dough begins to come together, no more than 30 seconds. If dough is too dry, add remaining cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse. Divide dough in half, pat each half into a disk, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 2 days, or freeze up to 3 months (thaw in refrigerator overnight before using).
- Tart:Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place a foil-lined baking sheet on bottom rack. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick (reserve remaining disk for another use). Fit into a 10-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim edges flush with rim. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
- Cut 1/2 cup gooseberries in half and squeeze to release a little liquid. Toss all gooseberries with sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Spread evenly into chilled crust.
- Bake until bubbling in center and some of the fruit is blackened on top, 1 hour, 15 minutes to 1 hour, 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 2 hours. In a small saucepan, heat jelly until melted. Brush over gooseberries; let set, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to line a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Trim the excess pastry from around the edge, then line the pastry case with baking parchment, fill with baking beans and chill for 30 mins.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pastry case for 15 mins, then carefully lift out the parchment and beans, and bake for 5 mins more or until biscuity. Meanwhile, beat the eggs, cream, sugar and vanilla together, then strain into a jug.
- Scatter the gooseberries into the pastry case, then pour in the vanilla custard mixture. Bake for 35-40 mins until the custard is set and the gooseberries are tender. Cool a little before serving, or cool completely and eat cold, dusted with icing sugar, if you like.
