| | Clove Currant (Ribes odoratum) | | 2007-04-30 12:18:00 | | Clove CurrantRibes odoratum (REE-bees)GrossulariaceaeI wasn’t familiar with this plant until I saw it blooming at Wave Hill. I had heard about it but never seen it. I think that it was in top form both with flower and foliage. The color was set off nicely by the Hally Jolivette Cherry ( Prunus x ‘Hally Jolivette’ planted behind it. The scent was amazing and I could smell it quite a distance away. It took me along time to appreciate yellow flowers but now they are some of my favorites. The hint of red in the flowers and buds adds a lot to the beauty. I don’t think this is the kind of plant you would want next to your front door. It would be better in a mixed shrub border or the edge of naturalized woodlands. I realize I probably saw this group at its height of appearance for the year. I am not really recommending this plant but I did enjoy seeing it. Ribes can be an alternate host of the White Pine Blister Rust.I took this picture of the Ribes and the Cherry with my point and | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |
| | Black Currant Jam | | 2007-04-18 09:53:00 | | This is an age old Swedish recipe. It comes from Hiram (1912-2006), the wellknown Swedish food writer and the author of many cookbooks. Her grandmother shared this recipe with her children and grandchildren.Traditionally Black Currant Jam is used for fillings on cake layers or served together with pancakes or ice cream.INGREDIENTS:* 2 l (2000 ml) black currants, just ripe* 1 l (1000 ml) water* 2 kg (2000 g) castor sugarMETHOD:1. Place black currants and water in a large, non-reactive pot.2. Bring to boil, simmer for 15 minutes3. Remove from heat, skim off any foam,4. Stir in sugar until dissolved, a little at a time5. Fill clean jars and seal, or put jam in containers and freeze.A lot of sugar? Yes. But there are no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. No preservative is added. Pick the black currants just underripe or just ripe because they contain the highest level of pectin that the fruit is going to reach. The jam will set well when cool. | | By: My Recipes | | |

Pour into plastic containers and freeze.This is a summer cooler in the northern part of Sweden , where we don't have black elder. (Black elder can be grown in southern Sweden, but not in northern part due to severe vinters). Black currant leaves (Ribes nigrum) have a delicious scent. This is as good as elderflower syrup - almost identical in taste. To drink, put a lemon slice in a glass, add about 1/3 of syrup, and pour in water. Ah......NB!
