It took the two of us two hours to get most of the currants off four bushes. We ended up with about a gallon currants which steamed down to 2 quarts of juice. Very unsual flavor, by the way. I can't describe it, but think tangy and intense. Maybe a bit woody and grapey. Ish.
I made black currant jelly and entered it in the Weber County Fair with my crab apple jelly and white seedless grape syrup.
I also entered a couple of loaves of bread,
and some photography.
Jasper, my pretty pink pig pal didn't win any ribbons, but I don't mind. I know she has a winning smile and that's what really counts, right?

Everything looks amazing. It's fun seeing the ribbons on all your entries. Jasper already has what it takes. She doesn't need a ribbon to prove it.
Hi Penny I miss you and I know you're very suprised that I'm going to the eighth grade because when you moved back to Utah I was in fith grade and the elective I've decided to take is to be the eighth grade algebra teacher Mr.Jamal Mogannam's teaching assistant and I go to Fernando Rivera Middle School plus thanks for the comment.
