White currant info: White currants grow on woody shrubs that are approximately two meters tall. Delicate strands of the small round berries first appear green but later ripen into creamy shades of pink and translucent white, depending upon variety. Their soft pulpy flesh has a juicy texture and contains multiple small edible seeds. Though still quite tart, White currants are considerably sweeter than the black and red varieties, offering a floral aroma and flavors of sour che...rry, kiwi, Muscat grape and a lingering residual sugar. White currants grow on woody shrubs that are approximately two meters tall. Delicate strands of the small round berries first appear green but later ripen into creamy shades of pink and translucent white, depending upon variety. Their soft pulpy flesh has a juicy texture and contains multiple small edible seeds. Though still quite tart, White currants are considerably sweeter than the black and red varieties, offering a floral aroma and flavors of sour cherry, kiwi, Muscat grape and a lingering residual sugar. Opposed to the red and black varieties, White currants are rarely used in savory applications. Their low acidity and sweet flavor profile is best reserved for desserts or other confections. Their high pectin content make them a natural choice for jams, jellies or tart fillings, though it is best to sieve out the small seeds. Suspend the pearly berries in gelatin or frozen fruit juice for a sophisticated popsicle. They can be eaten fresh, cooked or dried, and also make a stunning garnish when coated in castor sugar. Complimentary pairings include, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cream, clove, citrus fruits, tomatoes, juniper, ginger, strawberries, huckleberries, peaches, cherries, gin, basil, lemon verbena and mint.

Lots of red/black and white currants are ripe now. Great for jams, jellies and syrups (pancakes). Some baby apples are just about ready. Small but sweet Norlands and baking apple. Crabapples usually take a light frost to get sweeter (September usually). ... We have several photos and recipes on our Facebook page. See fruits info below.
