Beautiful Red Currants

Red currants are so beautiful that I just love gazing at them. They are so round and shiny, like rubies growing on a bush. I planted a bush last year and here is the result. Enough for a pot and a half of jam when once I added a few raspberries and the 12 black currants that our non-so-productive black currant bush provided. Black currants are not so pretty, but they do have a lovely flavor. Maybe we should have just eaten these fresh, but it’s nice to think of them down in the storage room in tidy jars, waiting for winter.
