Help, going mad........

I see you are on-line Val.  Blackcurrants,obviously when preparing you cut off the green stalks but what about the brown flower bit at the other end.  I have always done it because my grandmother did but it's driving me up the wall and they are very tiny I can hardly grip them with the nail scissors.

Thanks heavens for that, I can't see Robertson employing hundreds of people to sit and cut the things off.  Very many thanks.

I use to take them off as well, they seem so bitty, but when the jam is made you dont notice them
