Our redcurrants are… well, red

A large bunch of ripe redcurrants

Our redcurrant bush is quite a bashful little thing. All leaves and shadow, hiding the best it has to offer. Pull back some of that foliage, though, and look what you find – an enormous bunch of brilliant scarlet redcurrants.

Just as the strawberries are coming to an end and the raspberries are being a bit slow about getting going, these lovely little berries look set to bridge the gap.

Making our own plain yoghurt, as we do every week, means that our flavours aren’t determined by the whims of the supermarket producers, but whatever is in season in our garden. I rather like that.
