In our garden we have 5 black current bushes. We think they are all ready very old but they still give a lot of berries. This year even more as last year, about 8 liters. Last year we pruned them a little, we took they old branches out, to make them some younger. You really could see that because the berries were some bigger, despite of the very dry summer.
We make black current syrup of them. You can find the recipe below. Really tasty as a drink with some cold water or as a syrup in a yogurt. Last year we put some berries on brandy, but the taste was a little to strong for us. But we added some syrup and then you get really nice black current liquor. You need to drink it soon, otherwise the sugar will be converted to alcohol again. Skål!
