I bought these fresh White Currants<\/a> for less than a dollar at Grower’s Direct.\u00a0 The price was good, like most of the produce there, and I’d never tried them before.\u00a0 You’ll find great prices on fruit and vegetables at Grower’s Direct<\/a>,\u00a0if you can put up with the narrow aisles,\u00a0people traffic and (sometimes) parking issues.\u00a0 I went there for the makings of a Vegetable Platter and tacked on these White Currants\u00a0for a try.<\/p>\n

I quickly learned that White Currants aren’t too edible alone — They’re tart and have a lot of crunchy seeds inside.\u00a0 So much for simply enjoying a new tasty Berry, HA.\u00a0 I was hoping to eat ’em\u00a0like a Blueberry, Raspberry, etc.\u00a0 The next thought was to make something out of them.\u00a0 What?<\/a>\u00a0 The obvious was Jam\/Jelly<\/a>, which I don’t use.\u00a0 And I couldn’t see them enhancing the flavor of anything\u00a0that’s quick and simple to make.<\/p>\n

Since I didn’t want to waste all <\/em>of them, I tossed\u00a0some in a small batch of Rice Pudding, which isn’t as simple as it sounds.\u00a0 I had the prepared (leftover) Rice, but it’s necessary to pick off both ends of the White Currants before adding to a recipe.\u00a0 And by the time you pick off the bottom fur-ish part, you’re left with mostly seeds and skin, HA.\u00a0 It’s real worth it, not.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overall, they weren’t bad in the Rice Pudding,\u00a0nor\u00a0good either.\u00a0 I learned a lot,\u00a0yet still don’t know the best thing to do with White Currants<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0That’s okay, because it’s always fun to try new things — Some are fabulous finds and others\u00a0just an\u00a0educational story.\u00a0 Next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
