When the debate on which century Eleanor Fettiplace belongs in continues, I
have found 2 recipes in her book where  gooseberries are an ingredient:

To Boile Chickins

Take a good handfull of parselie, pick it small, & a good handfull of
gooseberries, & a pretie quanitie of tyme, mince it small, & three large mace,
& put these all together in a dish, & a little pepper, & salt, & half a pinte
of white wine, &some broth that the chicken were boiled in, & a piece of sweet
butter, & let it boile halfe an hower, & when the chickins are bnoiled inough,
put that broth to them, & serve them; put some sugar into it.

To Butter Gooseberries

Take your gooseberries before they are ripe, & put them in a dish with a good
piece of sweet butter, cover them close & let them boyle till they begin to
break, then stirre them till they bee all broken, then put in some sugar to
them & rosewater & the yelks of two eggs beaten, so stirre it altogether, &
serve it upon sippets.
