One of my hobbies is photography, I enjoy taking fruit pictures as much as I enjoy eating them.
This is one of my favorite fruit photo.
We probably have a few members here that are part of the California fruit growers. I submitted this photo to CRFG a couple years ago and it is the front cover for the fruit gardener magazine. 
It is a great magazine on fruit in general. If you're in California you can take advantage of many of their benefits if you become a member, if you're not in CA, it's still worth it to join for the magazine.
The photo is of a red gooseberry that I grew. I do love the title "becoming a fruit addict"

 

That is a beautiful photo of a gooseberry, Bass.  What variety is it?

This is a gooseberry var. Tixia, 
the photo already being used by this nursery.

Nice photo Bass!  Interesting that the California Rare Fruit Growers used it on their cover!  I'm a native Californian and I've never seen this fruit grow here.  Maybe in Northern California or higher altitudes?  Does it need a lot of chill hours?  You are in PA, so I'm betting we're a little too warm for it to grow here.  It probably likes lots of snow.
My grandmother used to make gooseberry pies, but I think she bought them canned.  She came here from Kansas and I think they grew there.

Good luck with your photography!

Bass, how do you use your gooseberries?

I used to have a lot of them, but I removed them because I didn't really find a way to use them that justified their place in the yard; that and they had become host/vector for SWD. A few out hand was mostly the use. I did try jelly, pie, and crisp.

Gooseberry need to get enough chill hours to fruit. They also don't like the heat. I always grow mine on the north side of the house, where sun is limited. They fruit well here in Pa. I know they are restricted in some states. They used to be illegal to grow in pennsylvania a while back as well as other states, but they found they didn't cause a threat like they thought and now it's allowed to grow, but they're not as popular anymore.
I compare the flavor to grapes mixed with passion fruit.

Congrats on getting your photo published.  I planted a few gooseberry bushes (Tixia, Invicta, Hinnomaki Red) this year too.  Just small bare root whips.  Hoping I can at least taste a few next year.  One of Emeril's restaurants in Florida had made a nice sauce out of some yellow gooseberries that I really enjoyed last year.

I had 3 Hinnomaki Red bushes for a lot of years, and gooseberry pie was just incredibly good.  Crisp was great also.  I would get enough from those small bushes to make about 2 large desserts yearly.  Thinking about that makes me want to replant some.

Beautiful pic Bass! If you ever find a recipe for a gooseberry custard tart, you should give it a try. It was my favorite dessert when my husband and I lived in Berlin. Not too sweet, great flavor from tender green gooseberries, and in a buttery crust. It was really wonderful...gooseberries are on my list to grow someday.

That magazine is on my bedside table. The photo looks like a painting.

Thanks,
