Redcurrant Jelly

photo The redcurrant plant is amazing, I've managed to pick 4kg of redcurrants off a single bush. They all ripened in July some before others, which was handy because I could only process one kg or so at a time.
I used the redcurrant jelly recipe from the River Cottage Handbook No 2. I also made some redcurrant shrub, one batch with gin and the other with brandy. The shrub has to be left for 18 months to mature so, we'll have to wait to see what it tastes like.
