Red Gooseberries

I always thought gooseberries were green.  Check out these little gems.

While visiting Salt Lake City this summer with Carrisa we found a thriving farmer's market on Saturday morning at Pioneer Park.  In August there is an incredible selection of local and artisanal foods to be had such as meats, cheese, honey, bread, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits.  I loaded up on local fruit that I don't usually see in the southern California markets such as three varieties of currants (purple, red, and white), two varieties of gooseberry (green and red) and two varieties of raspberry (purple and red). The flavor and sweetness of the red gooseberry reminds me of grapes.
