Red currants are a delicious, versatile berry that you can grown in your own garden. We are fortunate enough to have Daniel from Diva Dan’s Kitchen Show share some of his knowledge with us in this short video about growing red currants. Watch and learn why you need to know how to grow red currants…you can use them in jams, tarts, syrups, juices, and more.

Red currants are high in antioxidants, and you can make tea from the leaves. Really delicious!  Here are a few recipes that include them:

Slow Cooker Lacquered Chicken

Authentic Baked Ham with Cumberland Sauce

Barbecued Chicken Thighs au Vin

Tune in next week and see Diva Dan make a wonderful cake using currants from his garden.
