A fresh batch of Blackcurrant jelly is now available after we have been along to Inveraray this week to pick the blackcurrants.
We chose a nice sunny day and enjoyed the short journey to the farm, then a pleasant walk on the hillside until we found them. Picking the currants wasn't difficult as they were so copious, and yet it is challenging to fight through the nettles, rather feeling like they are there to protect the fruit! However we are always grateful for the opportunity to pick fresh fruit straight from the bush, bring them home wash them and make a preserve within 24 hours. You cannot get much fresher than that. Blackcurrant jelly has just blackcurrants and sugar! No nasty chemicals or other added ingredients required.
Between the two of us we managed to pick 5.5kg of blackcurrants. That is a huge amount to deal with in my little kitchen but still left plenty on the bushes. Thank you Julie and Dugie😊.
