Blackcurrant Fool

In Brief

Prep Time : 30 minutes

Cooking Time : 10 minutes

Serves : 6

It’s June which means it’s time to get your tupperware out and into the garden to pick those Blackcurrants before the blackbirds do.

Did you know? Nearly all our British blackcurrants are used in the famous Ribena, not the worst news in the world as it’s reassuring that there is fruit in the concentrates we drink these days but it does mean that there isn’t much left for us. So if your fortunate enough to know someone with a bush then offer them to pick it for them in return for a punnet or two so you can make this recipe.
