I planted a white currant bush last year and this year it gave me a couple of handfuls. They have a fresh taste like a green grape but a bit more tart. I'm in the process of drying them now so I can use them to make some currant scones

That's awesome! My parents have a few black currant bushes which they like to make jam with. I'd usually throw a few teaspoons in with some hot water and end up with a nice compote
That sounds delightful! I also have a couple of black currants and one red currant as well, but these seem to ripen quicker. I think I prefer the black currants, flavor wise.
