Redcurrant
Redcurrant is a tart, juicy red berry borne in clusters, eaten fresh or used in preserves, sauces and baked goods.
About Redcurrant
Redcurrant is the small, round red berry of a currant shrub, usually borne in dangling clusters. The berries are used fresh or cooked in preserves, sauces and baked goods. Each berry has translucent skin and juicy flesh with small seeds; the flavour is notably tart, often with a light sweetness when ripe.
Fresh redcurrants are delicate and may be sold as whole clusters or detached berries. Frozen, dried, juiced and preserved forms are also available, and sweetened preparations differ from the unsweetened fruit. The name specifies the red-fruited currant, not blackcurrant or white currant, but does not identify a cultivar.
