Summerfruit season is in full swing just now and there are so many delicious berries to choose from. Iโ€™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 Iโ€™d share some ideas for what to make with them in todayโ€™s newsletter - for inspiration, a few desserts that hero blackcurrants that Iโ€™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.
