What to do with a 1/2 tonne of blackcurrants?

We picked and bagged up 40 kg today in a short time between MEGA showers, plus picking raspberrys and strawberries.

With the previous intermittent picking thats about 100kg in the freezer already, and we havny even got right started.

All the above, and distribute the rest around your neighbours. What comes around goes around.

Yeah all of the above especially share it out. We share our Damsons, honey and the products we make with our neighbours n friends.

Senior managment has been giving away her excellent home made jam (with NO added water/No Certo or other non-fruit setting agents) plus copious rubarb.

For about 5 years.

At least.

Prob hundreds of kilos worth.

The reciprocation has been very very very, very limited.
