Please tell me what to do with blackcurrants and redcurrants and dessert gooseberries

[FrannyandZooey]

Do you have to cook them? Do you have to add sugar?

p-leeeeease?

Wolf them down.

summer pudding for the currants and are the dessert gooseberries the red ones you can eat without cooking ? if so scoff them with cream

So you can just eat them? You don't have to cook them or anything, even the dessert gooseberries (yes I think they are the red ones)

You can definitely eat blackcurrants and redcurrants without cooking. Redcurrants are yum.

I'd stew them (together or separately) then layer in glasses with yoghurt (or whipped cream) and maybe serve with shortbread or biscuits.

red ones can be eaten raw - have had them once but still quite tart tasting.

probably best covered in ice cream. go easy on the fruit though.

I don't want to cook them

I want to eat them in a bowl with strawberries and raspberries and cream and indeed I want to encourage others to do the same

am checking this is a good idea

Just eat them. They are delicious. Sod the cream. And green gooseberries are fine when squashy.

Mind you, ds2 loves green raspberries and blackberries

Ah, it's for a pudding tomorrow when my mum comes, so we will have cream (sorry TooT)

the redcurrants take your breath away for a minute with their sharpness, but will be nice in a bowl mixed with strawbs and rasps I think

crumble, crumble and more crumble!
