White Currant

Currants are an old fashioned fruit, being tart and refreshing rather than sweet and succulent. They make wonderful piquant sauces and jellies and add a sophisticated contrast to other flavours when scattered through fruit salads or over cakes. Redand white currants are both derived from the same two species, however the pearly white currants are known as being sweeter than the red and are produced in long threads during summer.
