Redcurrant City !

We went down at the weekend and picked Henry's redcurrants - we ended up with 1kg which was really good considering we had about 12 last year ! Once they had all cooked down we made 1 pot of redcurrant jelly and a small bottle of currant shrub (some ancient alcoholic recipe from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's preserves book).

We did a bit of tidying and weeding and then pulled up the onions - only about 3 were infected with white rot which again is better than last year. We have 64 onions drying in the garage at home now !
