Looks like a bumper crop



Looks as if I will have a bumper crop of redcurrants this year.

 

 I have started saving my jars for more of this  (scroll down). I have never tried freezing them, perhaps I should give it a go. Maybe I could come up with a fantastic summer cocktail using the juice.( bet its good with gin)
Oh...I have just come up with this and I like this vinaigrette too, I bet that will keep in the fridge for a couple of months, what do you think?



 This is the first year our parsley has wintered over as we had an unusually mild winter.



Yellow Bird magnolia, planted about 5 years ago is putting on a show at last.
Back to textiles next week.

  3. Redcurrants freeze beautifully :o) I kept a whole crop for a year until I finally got around to making redcurrant jelly. I just washed and dried the fruit, bagged and weighed them and put them in the freezer. When I was ready to make the jelly just cooked them from frozen - no problem at all :o)
