Currants




With only a touch of modesty, our Black Currant Jam has been described as the best in the country. When I was out picking them this morning, I was wishing someone would develop a self-picking variety. Zac, our tail-less cat was on bird duty, but looking at the number of missing berries, I don't think she (or the others) are doing a very good job. It's a good thing we now have two new little kittens to add to the hunting pack :-). The red currant crop looks to be a little down on last year, but we still will be able to make lots for serving with your turkey at Christmas or New Year.
