ELderflower makes Gooseberries delicious. If you cant source it naturally a drop of elderflower cordial does the trick. IT really does make it perfect.
I prefer using brown flour and brown sugar/or unrefined granulated in crumbles myself. I find the crumble is a bit to soft otherwise. Also to make it extra crunchy chopped pecan nuts go very well with gooseberries so sprinkle some of those on top.
