Cook's Notes
Use red or green gooseberries. If you like your cakes on the sweeter side you may want to add a little extra sugar to the gooseberries before roasting.
Do not overbeat the muffin mixture as this will make the muffins tough and rubbery. Just mix sufficiently to combine all the ingredients evenly. Do not worry about any lumps at this stage.
