Super early this year. Almost a month ahead of last year...

Harvest time! ❤️

Yummy. I just made some red and black currant with black raspberry jam.

My favourite plant in my garden. Looks like it will be a good year for berries! #redcurrant

Out with the strawberries, in with the #redcurrants! 😀

No, I might try it this year. They have so much natural pectin. Last year I made red currant wine. (Just two bottles.) 🍷It worked out pretty well, although maybe a bit too sweet. I was also thinking that red currants would be very pretty frozen in ice cubes for lemonade or another summery drink. @gjones

Two days of nice spring weather... my #redcurrant bush is so happy.

My red currants are finally ripening! They're very tart! 😮

@gjones This is my first full summer in this house, but I am going to try some jellies. The plant was brought from Sudbury by the previous owners and it was still very small up to this spring. Now it's a giant... so watch out! :) I might try staking it next year.
