Redcurrants

Fruit picking is turning out to be something of a chore this year. I only covered one of the redcurrant bushes this year, leaving the other two for the birds, but I can't even face picking one bush (or the several hours of preparation for jelly making). Normally it's such a pleasure picking the ruby-like fruits and distilling them into their sharp, solid essence.
