I don’t mind currants fresh, but love them for jams, jellies, candies, additions to juices, liqueurs, dried and added to tea. 

 

Never had a pee-flavored one, doesn’t really sound good.

Question:    Why did Murph run into the house and eat the litter box?

 

Answer: He had just eaten a Black Currant, and was trying to get the taste out of his mouth !!!!!

 

 

Holy Smokes, people !!  WOW !!  My wife and I sampled some at the same time at a friend's house.

We both spit the berries out, and exclaimed how they smelled / tasted like Cat Tinkle  !!

Then I asked my friend, "Hey Bob; you eat these?"

Bob says, "No way man; they taste like pee"

 

What am I missing, guys??

Since you all seem to enjoy them so much, I know I'm doing it wrong, or maybe Bob's berries were not the right Cultivar, etc etc. I would like to try some in my garden. Are they OK fresh ??
