I've made this pie several times now and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up fresh gooseberries and the meringue is always a crowd-pleaser.

I made this pie for my family and they loved it. The crust was flaky, the filling was thick and flavorful, and the meringue was light and fluffy. I will definitely be making this pie again.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I don't have a sweet tooth. The crust was flaky and the filling was thick and flavorful. I would definitely make this pie again, but I would use less sugar.

I'm not a big fan of meringue, but I loved this pie. The gooseberry filling was tart and tangy, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I would definitely make this pie again, but I would leave off the meringue.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I don't like gooseberries very much. The meringue was delicious though.

This pie is perfect for a summer dessert. The gooseberries are refreshing and the meringue is light and airy. I love the way the two flavors come together.

I'm not usually a fan of gooseberries, but this pie changed my mind. The meringue was light and fluffy, and the filling was tart and tangy. I loved the contrast between the two.
