She would drive all over looking for wild berries and currants, everything. <BR/>The currants look beautiful and what a lovely place to pick them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-1153997535766978962006-07-27T06:52:00.000-04:002006-07-27T06:52:00.000-04:00I can't believe the surge of jealousy that went th...I can't believe the surge of jealousy that went through me when I read your post and realized that there are u-pick currant farms that I have no access to! In the past 2 weeks I have spent over $200 on fruit at market, mostly on black currants! Lucky for me, several farmers had them this year instead of just one and I got some for $3 pint instead of $3.99 for a half-pint. I just hope it's a few more years until the general public catches on to how fabulous these little gems are. The best thing I've made so far besides the requisite homemade cassis is black currant mascarpone ice cream. Best ice cream EVER! I'm glad I found your blog through Traveler's Lunchbox.
