Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 Hi Toni, I checked the new database on Dr D's website, and currants, whether red or black, are neutral for O's. I know that we are to take unmentioned food as neutral, but has anyone any knowledge as to whether black currants and their juice falls into this area?Have developed a taste for Ribena syrup (used to feed it to my children when they were little!!) mixed with Club Soda.Smile...everyone will wonder why!!...and it is contagious!!Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have not tried fermenting currents, but I have done choke cherries. What I did was pack the fruit into a pint jar. I inoculated them with a product called Spectrabiotic. (which I sell. I have no experience with using other inoculants since I have good results with this.)I added 1 tsp. of sea salt and enough water to cover. Let them ferment on the counter for about three days. Try something like this with your currents. I suspect you will have good success. Ellis Hein Black currants I m having lots of black currants in my garden and am wondering what on earth I should do with them. I ll probably make some Creme de cassis and lemonade. But I m really wondering wether I could make something nice and tasty, fermenting those currants. So far I haven't found very inspiring recipes. I d love to hear something.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Well, I might try adding a bit of kefir and some lactobacillus... and see what's happening!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 There's a recipe for fermenting plums in Keeping Food Fresh -- just the standard thing really -- keep them under salted water. You could also look at Isao's recipe for Umeboshi plums that he was writing earlier this month. He said that they were not sweet and they reminded me of sloes which are definitely not sweet. It's a good idea to try this with black currants. I might give it a go. Our black currant season is just about to start in the UK Sally minmo_2000 wrote: > Well, I might try adding a bit of kefir and some lactobacillus... and see what's happening! > > Akke > > > >> I have not tried fermenting currents, but I have done choke cherries.
