So, I saw a box of red currants last weekend, and the novelty was so strong that I bought it. I have grown red currants, and I like them fresh and raw. (And I’ve also made super jelly from them) but these ones were imported from Chile, and while they look good, the texture is a little gummy, probably because they aren’t really fresh.
They still taste fine, but I didn’t love eating them out of hand. There aren’'t enough to make jelly. What else can I do with them? Can I cook them with a little cream and call it a trifle or something?
