I planted a white currant bush last year and this year it gave me a couple of handfuls. They have a fresh taste like a green grape but a bit more tart. I’m in the process of drying them now so I can use them to make some currant scones

    Noo you reminded me how much bushes of red currant I have to pick and process.

    Easiest thing is to put it in strong alcohol and make liqueur.

        When you have 10 plants it is more then enough to make wine. Problem is that there is too much of it, you get bored and looks for simplest solution.

        I make liqueur from it, just putting it in strong alcohol for 6 months and straining it after. My brother makes wine.

      Haha yeah, they’re a pain. Even this small amount was extremely tedious to get off the stems.
