Jelly makingJust bringing Gil's excellent jelly making instructions back to the fore. I've got a big pan of red currants on the go.

imho the best thing to do with black or red currants, plenty of flavour and no pips.
for a slight variation after straining reduce some of the jelly by half again for pastilles ( or dry it for pip free currant leather,notice my zero pip policy i grew up with blackcurrant jam in bulk until i learned that jelly was possible)
ps bramble jelly is nice as well but tis a fine line between jelly and burned with that one for some reason

Nice to see this article still coming in handy !
I'm with dpack on blackcurrant jelly. Not really because of pips so much as the enormous yield of jam per pound of fruit. You can have too many blackcurrants.... I only have 2 full-size bushes and 2 trainees, and that's more than enough.
The other use for them is cordial. With or without apple to tone it down.

Forgot about that.
I'll probably make some blackcurrant vodka (cassis ?) this year.
