Today I simmered some of my glimmering, red currants in preparation for jelly-making. This is not a skill of mine, so I've elicited the skillful support and wisdom of my mother-in-law. I consider her a master jelly-n-jam-maker.
I'll be freezing the resulting juice, strained and filtered as glistening clear as I can get it, and heading to her home with juice, sugar, pectin and jars, to watch, help and learn. It's about time, too!

ooooo- we used to make currant jelly when i was a kid- we had one bush
Currants look so cool. Our bush is right up against the pump house. You took a beautiful photo Rosemari~~
They are so beautiful to look at! We harvested black currants and they are just wonderful to use in scones. Can't wait to make them!
What beautifully vivid pictures-I can't wait to hear all about the process :)
How did your jelly turn out? Your pictures are lovely!
