BLACKBERRIES UK)

Blackcurrants are small, dark purple berries known for their intensely tart, rich flavour and deep aroma. They are widely used in juices, syrups, jams, and cordials, where their sharpness is balanced with sweetness to create bold, flavourful products. Blackcurrants also work beautifully in desserts such as crumbles, sorbets, cakes, and sauces, and are often paired with game meats or used in reductions for savoury dishes. Their strong flavour means they are usually cooked or sweetened, but they bring a distinctive depth and colour to a wide range of recipes.
