onclemick,I love blackcurrants and would, if they were readily available, happily eat them simply cooked/stewed and served with custard or icecream. I have recipes, all personally untried and tested, for the following and you’re welcome to have any, or all of them if you wish to try them….
Blackcurrant and Tomato Salsa – these are the notes with that recipe: “Blackcurrants and tomatoes go incredibly well together; especially with some mint thrown in like with this recipe - this is perfect as a vegetarian salad but comes into its own when served with any grilled meats or cold meats: especially lamb or smoked chicken. Make the day before and the flavours get better as it sits!”
Blackcurrant Eton Mess
Blackcurrant Muffins
Napolean Blackcurrant Crumble
And this one which I guess is intended to be a variation on Eton Mess…. “PEACH AND BANANA MESS 2 small firm bananas, sliced 1 x 400g can peaches in natural juice, drained ⅓ cup frozen blackcurrants, defrosted 4 small meringue shells, crushed 1 quantity vanilla custard 1 cup low-fat plain yoghurt
Place the fruit in a large bowl and mix the meringues through. Mix the custard and yoghurt together, then roughly stir the custard through the fruit and meringue mixture. Spoon into serving glasses and chill, then serve. Serves 6.”
Blackcurrant Juice or Cordial is, of course, another use for blackcurrants.
Hope that helps. :-))
