Gooseberry pie

Our first proper harvest of gooseberries! Last year the new bushes produced about a teacup of fruit between them but today I got a bowl full and used them to make a fruit pie (completed with custard and cream!) I love their tartness and so keep a light hand with the sugar. For me it has to be shortcrust pastry and as my nice blackbird pie funnel has temporarily disappeared I had to improvise and invert an egg cup instead.
