maybe not but OMG are they cool looking. Did you guys buy some? What’s the difference between red and white?
when people have pneumococcal pneumonia a defining feature (to differentiate from other kinds of pneumonia) is “red currant jelly sputum.” Isn’t that interesting?
So pretty. So tasty.
I saw champagne grapes in WF the other day, similar in size and look but not half as good looking.
My mouth was watering at these photos. Until the sputum comment. Tee hee.
this picture is lovely, of course. but i have no idea what to do with currants. one of the farmers had me try one, but im like, okay, now what.
I actually asked at a farmer’s market on Saturday what you’re supposed to do with red currants, and the red currant vendor said that they were good in a marinade or a sauce for a meat dish (or maybe a salad dressing?), or you could add a ton of sugar and make jam. And that’s pretty much it, I think.
You can also dry them and turn them into raisin-like things. Then they work for baking, sauces, etc.
You mean… con-currant-ly with the new dollar right?
Badaboom!
Beautiful picture! Here’s what I did with the currants I received in my CSA:

Haha, love the comment in your post. I saw some beautiful currants at Green City Market too but didn’t buy them this time around. How about Grilled Chicken Breast with Red Currant Rhubarb Sauce?
