    Smile currants

    hello all.i am new to this group.
    we have some land in crater lake national park in oregon.
    for so long we have been trying to clean our land.
    i have been clipping down these crazy bushes.its like nothing can make them not
    grow back.
    finally a neighbor out there told me those are currants.
    sure enough .i am now trying to get it where the bushes produce more currants.
    also i am not cutting them down anymore.
    they seem to also have cocoons of webs on some of the branches.looks like some kind
    of worms on them.i have been clipping those off and putting in a bag and then
    burning.
    so any thoughts or experiences on wild currants and how to cultivate them?
    thank u for your thoughts.

    I have not made any of these recipes, but as a child I ate my fair share. My Grandmother made a lot of currant jelly. http://www.countryliving.com/cooking...s-0606#slide-1

    We have black currants. The good news is they will spread be it ever so slowly. They have enough natural pectin to make their own jelly. Lot's of recipes on the web thingie. Bitter as all get out off the vine though.

    A neighbor makers her own currant wine.
    There ain't too many problems you can't fix with $500 or a 30-06.

    Him-"Whats the best knife for survival?"
    Me-"the one that's in your pocket."
    Him-"I don't have one in my pocket."
    Me-"Exactly."

    There are several varieties of currants. Some are sweeter than others. As far as care -- this might be of use. http://www.garden.org/plantguide/?q=show&id=3374

    Currants! My grandparents used to have red currant bushes in their backyard. You can make a fantastic jelly with those....it's particularly good with roast chicken or pork. If the birds didn't eat them all, we could usually count on Nanny setting a jar of home made red currant jelly on the table with supper when we visited. Although, this being her, I think she preferred having well fed birds to making red currant jelly, so she didn't do much to discourage them.


    I seem to recall she used a lot of sugar when she made it. Like, even considering it was Jelly. But this was 20-some years ago, and Nanny always did have a sweet tooth, so who knows?
