Ah, confronted with my own words. The prickles would be as much a part of
the fruit as the skin, infact, they were most likely modified hairs on the
fruit. My grandfather was the only one I knew who had played with them,
and he is no longer around to ask. I do know that he talked about
gooseberry jam for a long time, so my parents tried to make it for him.
They got a lot of gooseberries (the spineless American variety), and made
the jam. It must have been a perfect rendition, since he said. Oh yeah,
I always hated the stuff, just that mom used to make it...
Sorry that I don't know how to remove them.
