Hello All,

Since it is black currant season has anyone tried this, or something like this... (old recipe)

==
Black Currant Cheese---is delicious and is made by putting equal parts of stalked currants and loaf sugar into a pan; place over low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved, then bring slowly to the boil, stirring all the time. Remove all scum and simmer for an hour, stirring often. Rub the fruit through a hair sieve, return the puree to the pan, and stir until it boils, then put it into small pots and cover like jam.
==

(loaf sugar: Loaf sugar was a compact cone of sugar, used in colonial times.)

(hair sieve: A "hair sieve" is simply a very fine mesh similar in size to that which is used in a common flour sifter. Again colonial usage)

Is this a very thick syrup or more like maple sugar candy?

With the rain today, I may try making some.

Later,
Tom
