Currant News

Although I've already posted about my currant-juice-making adventures (here), I want to update as to the quantity of the finished product.  This year, I bottled 20 pints of strawberry currant juice total.  Last year, we ended  up with 12 pints so this year's harvest was substantially larger.  And that's including the few pounds of currants that the grandkids ate during a recent visit.  lol.  Normally those berries are waaaaay to tart to eat plain, but the berries were also larger and sweeter than in past years.

So to recap, this year's currant harvest was bigger, sweeter, later and juicier than in years past.  *insert big grin smiley here*
