The bushes are loaded! I picked about half of them, filling my bowl. I then enjoyed a glass of wine outside on the deck while tediously picking off all of those little stems. The berries are now drying in the dehydrator. I didn't realize that commercial currants are actually grapes! The dried currants are pretty tasty. I've heard that fresh currants can be frozen and used in the place of lemon juice in recipes. I'll do that with my second picking.
