Sort the gooseberries, wash and drain. Put together with the fruit juice, sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest and lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Let the whole thing simmer over a moderate heat for about 5 - 6 minutes. Then mix a little cornstarch with a little water and lightly bind the gooseberries with it.
Fill the gooseberry groats into glasses and let them cool. Garnish with fresh gooseberries, whipped and sweetened cream and sprigs of herbs and serve.
