Seeing red

I picked the redcurrants yesterday as they were already overripe. I am not usually one for measuring and boasting but this is the exception.

After sitting for over an hour with a fork stripping the currents off the strings and picking out the leaves, I have 1.8kg. For those of us who still think in old money that is just under 4 lbs.

They are now in the freezer and next time I have a spare hour of two I will make jam or jelly. Maybe raspberry and redcurrant jam.

I would have had quite a few raspberries but I ate tham as I was picking and felt a bit sick afterwards so that shows how many there were.
