Isn't that made from mulberries? We use it in preference, too.

!! I thought it was blackberries! I'll have to see if we've still got some
in the house.


I think Cassis is made from blackcurrants. So does Joe Hidditch(who?)

Wiki does too, so I must be wrong

Cassis is certainly blackcurrants but you can ask for a Kir Mūres in France
and get the blackberry version. I don't like Kir Cassis though a Kir
Framboise will do if I'm absolutely pushed. ;-)
