yes i have

in fact i made home fermented soda out of currants just a few weeks ago, real black ones

i also just made gooseberry soda out of those gooseberries which are way to spiky to eat

i have literally made soda from cabbage and honey, it was, interesting, not great, but compelling

will do again

Yes, we planted some and my dad ordered pure juice from Germany. Very strong but refreshing diluted and chilled

bragging about currants is like indians boasting about the ganges' industrial waste
it's shit, find something good to hold over them

even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.

>>12966157
Idk the berries are unremarkable but have you tried the juice

>>12966163
I have not tried the juice, but maybe i should

>>12966086
I just had a sour beer made with it. It wasn't all that flavorful compared to other berries. Nice color though.

>>12966086
How did you do it? With kefir crystals?

>>12966108
Currants are straight up the greatest berry for jams ever made. It's not particularly great raw but by god currant jams are divine. Especially on buttered bread.
The leaves are also good in tea.
Do Americans not have them though? Is it something about the climate?

>>12966086
We have huckleberries so I think we’ll be fine.

>>12966518
They were banned for a long time so amerilards never got the taste for them. You can buy black currant products but they're really obscure.

t. American whose favorite jam is blackcurrant

Dad has them growing around his home. Such an underrated fruit. Americans are really missing out

>t. American

>>12966612
Why were they even banned lmao. Retarded mutts

Canada, land of the free healthcare
I have red and black currants growing in my backyard.

They carry diseases that murderfuck pines. Americans like pine furniture much more than they do tea, crumpets, or currants.

>>12966676
They carry a disease that fucks up a native tree called white pine. The timber industry was pissed so the government banned them

I live in Brooklyn and have a black currant bush in my backyard.

Yeah but how many time do you get to eat wild blueberries or mustang grapes huh? Thought so

>>12966736
Are there people pissing on the bush?
