Our latest crop to be harvested is our redcurrants – over 6lbs from two bushes! At least this year, the birds left them alone before we actually managed to pick them. The best way to preserve redcurrants is to make a jelly from them which is simple to do. Redcurrants are high in pectin so the jelly sets beautifully with no extra effort and it is a wonderful, jewel like red in colour, crystal clear and really tasty. There were too many redcurrants to make cook them all on one day, so the rest were frozen on trays initially and then separated into bags for future cooking forays! There were a number of pudding and cake recipes that contained redcurrants so all we have to do now is remember they are in the freezer to be used!
Reviews
The decking has been glorious in the sunshine and a great bird watching and bat watching spot.
Super weekend!
Even with 3 teenage children, there was plenty of space in this beautiful and toasty warm holiday home.
We have had such a wonderful summer holiday at Greenacre Lodge!
The house and gardens are so beautiful and our children have adored seeing the chickens and cats every day – we have had tears because they love it so much that they don’t want to go home!
We have made some lovely family memories to treasure for ever.
A fantastic welcome and a fantastic rest. We have already booked for the summer!
Watching the stars at night was simply magical.
A lovely oasis from the ‘everyday busy’.
Relaxing and invigorating half term break.
