Default What to do with redcurrants


"Janet Galpin" wrote in message
...
This year for the first time ever I've got round to netting my
redcurrants which means that I've got a bumper crop.

The trouble is I'm a bit stuck for ways of using them. I'd like some
ways that are reasonably healthy, i.e. without having to use loads of
sugar. I guess with honey and yogurt would be worth trying. Any other
ideas?

Put them in cake or muffin mix

Combination jam with other summer fruit

Semolina pud with redcurrant sauce (probably go well with rice pud too!)

Cordial (has quite a lot of sugar)

By the look of it, you might need to go plant some more bushes Janet :~))
