Preparation
Blackcurrants need to be cooked with a little sugar and a splash of water for their full charm to emerge. They bring an essential base note to summer puddings or lightly cooked compΓ΄te. Blackcurrant jam is another favourite. In tarts and turnovers a filling of blackcurrants, sugar and chopped fresh mint is a revelation.
