You got way more blackcurrants than we did! Only 2 handfuls from our bush, but they added a lovely zing to our raspberry jam, which was also not as plentiful I had hoped on account of little ones raiding the raspberry canes daily!
ReplyDeleteWe very luckily inherited six old blackcurrant bushes from the previous tenants and they always have loads of berries - I could probably pick this amount five times over at least!
