I steeped some blackcurrants in gin and sugar and it's turned into a rather lovely liqeur. Any suggestions for the now very alcoholic currants. I thought about a frangipani tart but wondered if it would get too soggy?

They'd be lovely on a dollop of ice cream!

Nice thought - thank you!  Might coat some in chocolate too....

now you're talking!

If you have any baked goods with blackcurrants then  dribble some of your 'super juice' on top to really enhance the blackcurrant flavour.

puree and use in icecream, fools or trifles.

Thank you for all the suggestions - which I am storing away for next year.  I made the frangipane tart...and it wasn't bad. Bit of a soggy bottom - the tart that is.  But all got eaten.

You can stop a soggy bottom by baking the pastry blind first and putting the blackcurrants on top of the frangipane
