I like my jams and jellies to be tart and fruity!

Me too   :)  Tart jam and jelly works well in savoury cooking as well.  I mix it half and half with balsamic vinegar (the cheapest supermarket ones are fine, don't waste anything better on it) and spread over meat or fish when almost cooked.  10 minutes more in the oven, or 5 under the grill turns it into a great sweet and sharp glaze that livens up a meal no end  :)

Surbie   I made something like your eggydosis last night. Plum and blackcurrant clafoutis, a WW recipe. You make a batter with whipped up eggs and sugar then add flour, vanilla and milk.  Drift of icing sugar to serve. We had it with low fat creme fraiche  :tongue2:

Great for smoothness.  Currants (red or black) natural yoghurt,vanilla ice cream and a splash of milk!  Looking forward to the first of the year, berries ripening now.

Hi everyone!  We inherited about nine currant bushes on our allotment and they're fruit are just starting to ripen.  What can I use the berries for?  We seem to have black currants and one bush of red currants.  Thank you!


Delia does a brilliant summer pudding, using red and black currents. 
Hen, you can freeze them to do summer pudding in the winter.
