Blackcurrant Season

An ode to Summer berries in Edinburgh & a recipe for ice cream 💜

Summerfruit season is in full swing just now and there are so many delicious berries to choose from. I’m like a kid in a sweet shop at this time of year, and I would be hard pressed to pick a favourite, but July always makes me think of blackcurrants: sun warmed, richly ripe and deeply fruity - they taste of Summer in every bite. I thought I’d share some ideas for what to make with them in today’s newsletter - for inspiration, a few desserts that hero blackcurrants that I’ve been enjoying out and about in Edinburgh, plus my own ice cream recipe to make in your kitchen: blackcurrant leaf ice cream with blackcurrant ripple.
