Blackcurrants · uncommon
Big Ben
Berries twice the size of most blackcurrants, sweet enough to eat raw off the bush, which is something you can't say about many blackcurrants. A modern Scottish variety that makes picking less tedious and eating more enjoyable.
in the kitchen
Blackcurrant crumble
Tumble the big berries into a dish with a sprinkling of sugar, top with a buttery oat crumble, bake until bubbling and golden. The tartness cuts through the sweet topping. Serve with vanilla custard.
