Put the gooseberries in a nonreactive saucepan with 1/4 cup of sugar
and the water. Cook very gently until the gooseberies are thoroughly
done and soft enough to mash. Put them through a sieve or food mill
and add sugar to taste. Fold the gooseberry puree through the whipped
cream. Chill for several hours.
