What do you do with red currants?
It’s that time of year again where we start to get a substantial harvest of red currants. As usual I’m looking for ways to use them all rather than just making enough red currant jelly to supply the whole town.
Salad Season
Hot summer days followed by fresh salad from the garden, what a perfect combination. Although the tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse have a way to go yet before we start harvesting we are already getting plenty of lettuce and radishes maturing outside.
Shutting the stable door….
The old pre motorway freight roads over the pennines are a lovely drive, passing through many old mill towns and offering fantastic views on the higher reaches. Although visibility was poor due to the heavy rain and thick fog on the tops it was still an enjoyable drive back – although a little worrying at times as the winds got stronger on the higher sections.
