Currants are wonderfully sweet and sour and at the same time ripen in large quantities. Make juice easily and quickly and enjoy it in summer.
- Currants contain a lot of juice.
- If you want to process many currants at once, you can easily make juice yourself.
- Here's how it works.
Anyone who has a currant bush in the garden knows it: the small red or black fruits ripen in large quantities at the same time. If you are a bit confused as to what to do with the many berries (except bake currant and chocolate muffins *), you should try juice or syrup. You don't even have to do the work to remove the currants from the stems.
